Again, this solution seems very practical on paper. It sounds perfect. But...

This involves Siri learning app names. Don't forget, under all the magic is voice recognition. Is Siri going to understand "Instagram"? How will it know the difference between "fourquare", 4x4 (four squared) and "four square"?

Just require the user to add "app" after the app name. Again only the apps the user installs are added to Siri's commands available to the user.
