I'd like to handle a file extention (.m3u8) which has no registered
MIME mapping for the extention, when the file is opened in a file
manager/explorer. But no matter what I try, the file managers I tried
aren't able to open the file with my app. Is this something that is
generally impossible in Android, are the file managers poorly
programmed, or am I doing something wrong?

This is my current state in manifest.xml:
<intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
  <data android:scheme="file" />
  <data android:host="*" />
  <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
  <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.m3u8" />
</intent-filter>

I also tried without BROWSABLE and/or host, because I thought that
might be only for browser downloads, but it didn't change anything.
