[PATCH] Support for launching Chrome browser(if present) from HS20 client

[Somdas Bandyopadhyay]

HI Johannes,

The code already uses /system/bin/am start -a
android.intent.action.VIEW [...] .. as suggested by you. Not
specifying the -n argument will give the option to the user to select
the browser. But it pops out a dialog for the user to select the
browser, which is an extra step and might irritate the user also.
