You can't force an app you don't "own" to use only your app to handle an Intent. That's not the Android design philosophy.
The best you can do is put in an intent filter in your manifest for an intent. When that intent is matched, your app will get it, unless other apps also match. If more than one app matches, the user gets a chance to pick the one to use. Users can choose to use the app they've picked for all similar actions, after which the chooser is no longer activated and the intent goes directly to the chosen app. What you can do is tell users to choose your app when they open a CSV file. If that option doesn't appear, they have to clear options in the mail app's entry in App settings. This is a feature. If you forced users to use your app for *any* CSV file, they'd never be able to look at Excel CSVs, etc. What you might want to do is use your own custom MIME type for the file you're sending. You can still use CSV format, but with a custom MIME type you can have an intent filter that only handles that type.
