The action or category (or data or mime type) in the launching intent doesn't matter at all for what will happen with the result.
When you are in your second activity, you can try "adb shell dumpsys activity" to see the current activity stacks (they are the first thing printed; there is a lot more). Your sub-activity should be on top, and it will include where its result will go to, if there is a target. The code you posted look okay to me, but you didn't include your code that actually starts the activity and that is the most likely culprit -- if you use startActivityForResult() you should be guaranteed to get -some- result back, no matter what.
