There are many “contacts applications” for Android, not just one. You declined to indicate which “contacts application” you are referring to.
Some “contacts applications” may use
ACTION_SENDTOwith ansmsto:Urifor sending an SMS. In that case, you can add an<intent-filter>to your manifest watching for anandroid.intent.action.SENDTO<action>and a<data>withschemeofsmsto:. That should trigger your activity to be an option for the user.However, bear in mind that not all “contacts applications” may use this.
