You are much better served using a standard MIME type.

And this is why you need a standard MIME type, as email attachments
have no extension in their content Uri values.

Use a standard MIME type -- one the email client is likely to
understand and use with the attachment. Then, add a <data> element to
your filter with an android:mimeType attribute that is the MIME type
you are using.
