Hm, I believe I'd had problems with that in a previous Android build, so I'm not certain, and I'd have to look at the chooser implementation across versions again to see.
I still sort of contend that this doesn't make sense: if your use case is for a SEND intent that doesn't fit with anyone else's mechanism, then why even use a SEND category? Why not just have your own custom intent, rather than have a confusing use of it? Am I misunderstanding: do you want to allow the user to share your information and also have other apps handle your information too? It seems that is not the case, meaning that a SEND intent is sort of inappropriate design here.
