how to start android phone with custom launcher

Question

I want to create theme, for that i created one launcher app. So when i press "home" button it shows me to select which launcher to be launch.

But I don't want that selection UI, When my app is installed it should launch automatically and sets it as default launcher.

can it be possible?

Thanks

Probably not, and for good reason. Users want control, and automatically changing their launcher will just anger people. — Jason Robinson, Apr 12 '13 at 06:06

No. No system service can be overridden by default without the user getting to choose. This is for security- otherwise any app could fool people into downloading them, take over for that service (in this case the launcher), and prevent the user from being able to use his phone. The launcher would be particularly bad- it could prevent you from opening settings or launching other apps at all. Huge malware risk. That's why the user has to choose for services like the launcher, keyboard, etc.
