I have created a file explorer and register 

<action android:name="android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.OPENABLE" />

But I don’t want my internal file explorer is begin shown for user to choose when another app send implicit intent with “Openable” category. How can I do so? Should I just create my own action name?

I don’t have the explicit one because I want user to choose other file explorer within my app.

    I agree with Chris Stratton and Tal Kanel.But instead you can use specific “Data” in your intent filter.Documentation says:

    An Intent object that contains neither a URI nor a data type passes
    the test only if the filter likewise does not specify any URIs or data
    types.

    So if an intent has “Openable” category and has not data part that matches your intent filter specific data part,your internal file explorer will be not shown for user.
