How can my Launcher deploy default launcher choice window?

Question

I had an android launcher project. After installed on my phone, pressing HOME will NOT make the "default launcher choise" popwindow showing to choose default launcher.

following is related setting:

        <activity
          android:name="MyLauncherActivity"
            .....
            .....
            <intent-filter>
              <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME"/>
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY" />
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

how can I make that popupWindow show ?

P.S How curiouse it is! I just restart Eclipse and reinstall it, pressing HOME make the default launcher choise popupwindow showing!

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

in your activity intent-filter means this is the start point of the app, when the user clicks on the app icon, will run this activity ( it doesn't mean this activity is a launcher app)
