How can I trigger the com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION Google Now action for testing?

Question

I am building an Android app and would like to integrate the ability to search using voice with Google Now Actions as described in this blog post. Before I push the app to the Play Store, is there a way to test my intent filter (com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION), search expression handling, etc.? I've followed the documentation and included the intent filter as below:

<activity android:name=".SearchActivity">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  </intent-filter>
</activity>

Yes, you can use adb activity manager to trigger the activity using the syntax below:

adb shell am start -a com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION -e query foo <app package name here>

Hi Jarek! I just saw your GoogleDevelopers talk "Implementing Freemium with Google play In-app Billing API" on YouTube. I think I found some severe problems with the docs and logic-flow of the Billing API v3, but I can't get a hold of anyone at Google about this. Could I ask you to take a look at this question: #30922289 and forward it to the right person at Google? Thank you! – Barre

I can not start with query constant space, for example, -e query incorrect record, do you have any suggestion? – Garris
