    am start: start an Activity. Options are:
    -D: enable debugging
    -W: wait for launch to complete
    --start-profiler <FILE>: start profiler and send results to <FILE>
    -P <FILE>: like above, but profiling stops when app goes idle
    -R: repeat the activity launch <COUNT> times. Prior to each repeat,
    the top activity will be finished.
    -S: force stop the target app before starting the activity
    --opengl-trace: enable tracing of OpenGL functions

    am startservice: start a Service.

    am force-stop: force stop everything associated with <PACKAGE>.

    am kill: Kill all processes associated with <PACKAGE>. Only kills.
    processes that are safe to kill -- that is, will not impact the user
    experience.

    am kill-all: Kill all background processes.

    am broadcast: send a broadcast Intent.

    am instrument: start an Instrumentation. Typically this target <COMPONENT>
    is the form <TEST_PACKAGE>/<RUNNER_CLASS>. Options are:
    -r: print raw results (otherwise decode REPORT_KEY_STREAMRESULT). Use with
    [-e perf true] to generate raw output for performance measurements.
    -e <NAME> <VALUE>: set argument <NAME> to <VALUE>. For test runners a
    common form is [-e <testrunner_flag> <value>[,<value>...]].
    -p <FILE>: write profiling data to <FILE>
    -w: wait for instrumentation to finish before returning. Required for
    test runners.
    --no-window-animation: turn off window animations will running.

    am profile: start and stop profiler on a process.

    am dumpheap: dump the heap of a process. Options are:
    -n: dump native heap instead of managed heap

    am set-debug-app: set application <PACKAGE> to debug. Options are:
    -w: wait for debugger when application starts
    --persistent: retain this value

    am clear-debug-app: clear the previously set-debug-app.

    am monitor: start monitoring for crashes or ANRs.
    --gdb: start gdbserv on the given port at crash/ANR

    am screen-compat: control screen compatibility mode of <PACKAGE>.

    am display-size: override display size.

    am to-uri: print the given Intent specification as a URI.

    am to-intent-uri: print the given Intent specification as an intent: URI.

    <INTENT> specifications include these flags and arguments:
