Set specific app to start on PowerApps App opening

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I have searched and searched and found nothing.

I have built an app for my business where the idea is an Electronic Fire Board.

 

Staff tell the app when they are in the building and when they have left. All entries logged to a Sharepoint List. 

Using Flow - I have then created lists for each Fire Warden to get an ad-hoc list of who is in the building in the event of a fire.

 

My deployment method is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A device locked down via Endpoint/InTune in Kiosk mode with the PowerApps App. When the tablet reboots, PowerApps loads.

 

My question - how can I tell it to open this specific app when PowerApps is opened? 

At the moment I just get the 'Home' screen where you have to then tap the app to open it.

 

As this is a kiosk - adding a shortcut to just open the app isn't viable.

Can this currently be done?

    There is a new feature in preview that allows you to deploy Power Apps outside of the Power Apps Mobile launcher: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/create-mobile-apps-with-power-apps-preview/

     

    This would allow you to create a Power App that launches the same as any other app on the device, saving that step of launching Power Apps Mobile and selecting the specific Power App to run.
