Yes it's possible. You'll find documentation for Intent here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html

Before you start the activity you can use the putExtra function on your intent.

i.putExtra( "yourapp.function_to_call", "subtract" );

This is going to be passed to your activity and you can get out the information with the Intent.getStringExtra function. In your activity you can then do something like this.

Intent i = this.getIntent();
String fname = i.getStringExtra( "yourapp.function_to_call" );
if( fname.equals("add") )
    // ...
