The media button is a broadcast Intent, not an activity Intent. Hence, it doesn't go through the normal chooser-style stuff like you see with activity Intents (e.g., default browser).
You can listen for the ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON broadcast. The documentation does not say it is an ordered broadcast, so I assume all applications that have registered for it will receive it.
