I want to include an alternative menu item, similar as is done in the
NotesList sample, but I want to add an icon. What would be the
appropriate place to specify the icon?

I'm adding the alternative menu through the following code:

Intent intent = new Intent(null, mListUri);
        intent.addCategory(Intent.ALTERNATIVE_CATEGORY);
        menu.addIntentOptions(
                Menu.ALTERNATIVE, 0,
                new ComponentName(this, ShoppingView.class),
                null, intent, 0, null);

which displays correctly the menu item that is specified here:

<activity android:name=".shopping.ListShareSettingsActivity"
        android:label="@string/share_settings"          
android:theme="@android:style/
Theme.Dialog"           android:icon="@drawable/contact_share001a">
             <intent-filter android:label="@string/share"
                android:icon="@drawable/contact_share001a">
                <action
android:name="org.openintents.action.SET_SHARE_SETTINGS" />
                <category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category
android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" />
                <category
android:name="android.intent.category.SELECTED_ALTERNATIVE" />
                <data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/
vnd.openintents.shopping.list" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

It shows the string as specified in @string/share, but I don't get to
see the icon specified in @drawable/contact_share001a.

Since the notepad example does not display menu icons, it is difficult
to tell whether this feature should work in principle in m5 or not.
