Android ADB: Simulate Recent App key press

The solution is to use the KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH KeyEvent:

adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH

See @SimonMarquis answer below

adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH

(OBSOLETE)

I don't think there is a keycode for it.

However, I am able to open the recent apps menu with adb shell input tap (testing on a Nexus 5 with Lollipop). For example:

adb shell input tap 800 1890
