You can implement this by for example, saving the page index that corresponds to the TOC element somewhere and pass that to the intent. Or you can after openning the document scan the TOC and search for that TOC element and get the page to navigate to.

Something like:

private void scanOutlines(Document.Outline parent) {
        for (Document.Outline root = parent; root != null; root = root.GetNext()) {
            //some check here
            if(root.GetTitle().equals("xxx")) {
                m_view.PDFGotoPage(root.GetDest());
                break;
            }
            if(root.GetChild() != null)
                scanOutlines(root.GetChild());
        }
    }

And call it like:

if(m_doc.GetOutlines() != null)
        scanOutlines(m_doc.GetOutlines());
