I’d like to enable a “silent send” from my application– that is, I’d like to catch the SEND intent in a Service, not an Activity. How does the default Android web browser send that intent? Is it possible to handle it in a Service, or in an Activity that never sets a View?

    ACTION_SEND Intents are sent as activity intents (e.g., startActivity()), and so you cannot have a Service receive them. You can have them handled by an Activity that never calls setContentView(), though.
