With apps such as Tasker, you can create a slew of automated actions and even create cool new features from scratch.However, Tasker can be a bit complex for regular users to understand, and if you need a feature such as auto-launch app when plugging in Android device, there is a better way.

The next screen will ask you to select the app that you want to launch when you plug in your headphones.Once you have selected the app, it will be saved to the Settings and you can do the same with the USB option as well. Now that the app is configured, you can go ahead and plug in the USB cable or the headphones to launch the selected apps.
