This will not be possible on stock hardware, because you basically can't "intercept" other intents with a standard app. Proxying intents is possible if you modify the system, but the ability to do this on stock firmware would be a security hole in itself.
The place you would want to look --- should you want to modify the system to support this --- is the Android package manager that handles the mediation of intents through the system.
