Thanks for all the valuable responses. I wasn't aware of the feature "User will be given a choice when doing an action that can be handled both by the built-in application and by your application". So, my approach was to replace built in app. User choice is best approach as user is going to decide which application he wants to make default.
Continuing on my previous question. Assuming user makes my application as default. - Will built in app be able to receive broadcast events related to call state change, netwrork state change, new SMS arrival, boot completed etc if it has registered for these? I want to ensure that both applications don't respond to same unsolicited broadcast events and lead to confusion to user say by showing two notifications in home screen. This is just a scenario I am considering. - How to make the built application default again? - Will the built in application and my application be informed about whether it is default application or not? and how?
