As other people have said, the problem with this idea -- which isn't a bad one -- is that the app doesn't contain enough information to help you determine what the intent *does*. It is possible enough to find out the intent extras, you could also easily imagine providing such information statically, but there's a lot more to it than that. The intents also have some semantics that says, what they *do*, and in what situations it's appropriate to use them. This is a lot harder (basically impossible) to determine statically, and I think you'd need to have some sort of annotation to tell you what the intent was used for, written in some syntax, though I'm not sure what that is.
