Is there a possibility to catch a generic "application/xml"? It seems
this is displayed in the browser in raw format, and it does not try
the ACTION_VIEW.

Our application would like to handle rss feeds, which should have the
mime type "application/rss+xml", and which we can catch through an
intent receiver. Unfortunately, most websites simply use the mime type
"application/xml" for rss feeds, which will not be forwarded to our
application, but will be displayed in the browser.

Is there a way to catch "application/xml" MIME types by third party
developers?
