Sorry yes I am wrong again... it's been a while since I've looked at the code. :}
Okay so hopefully this will be right -- the method in the package manager for determining the default activity is not public (it is PackageManagerService.findPreferredActivity() fwiw). The only suggestion I can make is to just call resolveIntentActivity(), which will always only return a single activity, either the one matching activity, the current default if the user has picked a default, or the intent resolver if there is no default.
