and the cmd for bringing a phone app you can find on wiki
You can run every desktop application with a script like this and just replace the image of the beecon with one of your choice/size:

Code:
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"<application name here>"
where <application name here> is application name that you can find in /usr/share/applications/hildon directory w/o trailing .desktop

Example for launching the image viewer:

Code:
/usr/bin/dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:image-viewer
some applications might accept extra parameters by adding extra "string:<parameter here>" to the command
