SEND is an activity action. All you need to do is have it in your manifest for an activity, as you have shown, and you know it is working because you see it in the share menu, and when you select your item in the share menu your activity will be launched with the intent. That is all there is to it. There is no broadcast receiver involved at all, anywhere.
