  It sounds like what you are wanting is to create a dashlet from the activity *report*.
  
  * Go to **Reports > Contact Reports > Activity**
  * Set up your report with the columns you wish
  * Check the "Available for Dashboard?" option.
  * Save the report.
  * Go back to the CiviCRM dashboard, click the configure button, and add your report.
