OK, now that we've established that I have zero choice but to construct my
own chooser Intent, what have I missed in the code below?
NB this seems so fragile. I feel like I'm having to make too many
assumptions how how the Android framework works.

Please do not do this. It will not have the desired effect: it will
show up in the chooser for all apps. And, if the user tries tapping on
it from another app, that app crashes.
The only solution for the OP's original requirement is to roll a
custom chooser from scratch.

This still doesn't work, as mark points out. You have to instead create
your own chooser.

@Mark @Kristopher really? the doco for android:exported seems to indicate
that setting it to false will produce the precise behaviour I am looking
for.

And testing on a JellyBean device indicates that it is
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

If it's an Android version specific limitation of chooser behaviour then
I'm all ears, and I'll definitely go back and test on some old versions
now. but there is nothing in the doco to suggest that.
As stated before, my use case is that I want to share text/plain and have

Thanks Mark. I have commented on that issue. FWIW I think Dianne is wrong
on that one. A non-exported Activity with an intent filter is not poor
coding, it's use case that wasn't considered by the original
Intent#createChooser implementation.
Looks like I have little choice but to implement a

I have an Activity that responds to the ACTION_SEND Intent. Is there any
way for me to be able to specify the IntentFilter such that the Activity is
only displayed by the IntentChooser when it has been called from within my
app?
Ie I want the SendIntentResponderActivity displayed as a viable
That seems sort of silly, if I'm understanding you correctly: you
usually don't launch a chooser based intent just to talk to your own
app again, unless it's to possibly choose another app. You might look
at a signature based idea (meaning other people can't respond to it,
for security), but
Does android:exported=false do what you want? See

@Kristopher the use case is simple: I want to offer clients the ability to

appropriate if the Intent comes from
