The goal is to receive a share intent (e.g. a website url by Chrome) and open a specific activity (save.js) based on that intent (not the default one).

I also tried to put everything within the <application> tag. But it doesn't work either, probably because no url attribute is allowed…

<!-- tiapp.xml -->
   <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <manifest>
            <application>
                <activity
                    android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
                    android:label="@string/app_name"
                    android:launchMode="singleTop"
                    android:name=".MyOwnActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.Titanium">
                    <intent-filter>
                        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
                    </intent-filter>
                </activity>
                <!-- Save Activity -->
                <activity android:name=".SaveActivity" url="save.js">
                    <intent-filter android:label="+ Save to MyOwn App">
                        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
                        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                        <data android:mimeType="*/*"/>
                    </intent-filter>
                </activity>
            </application>
        </manifest>
    </android>

But the second registered activity is just ignored.
