Launch default SMS app without a message

I am wanting my app to, on a button click, launch the user's default texting app. The intention is not to have the user send a message, but to view their current text conversations, therefore I don't want it to launch the SMS app's "New Message" activity but instead the main app's activity itself.

If I do the following:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:"));
context.startActivity(sendIntent);

Then this is launched, instead I want it to launch the main part of the app, not this new message screen:
