You can also send the whole PGN game to Analyze This and have it immediately start analyzing the position at a given ply number: (new addition in Analyze This v3.1.4). The added advantage of sending the whole PGN text is that users can also move back and forth through the game without having to return back to your App.

intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, pgn); 
ComponentName name = new ComponentName(analyzeThisPackageName,

 //Integer value, where 0="Aqua", 1="Blue", 2="Brown", 3="Gray", 

4="Green" , 5="Fritz", 6="Sky Blue"
