Sorry but there is not a supported way to install apps such that they will automatically launch when you plugin the phone into the headset. The normal flow is to launch apps via Oculus Home or the 2D client.

However, during development, you can use other methods to launch apps. Copy an APK built with your OSIG to your device so that you can enable developer mode. Change the intent filter in your manifest from android.intent.category.INFO->android.intent.category.LAUNCH so you can see it on the 2D app screen. Or use the vr service version of APK launcher, or launch it directly via adb.
