I just tried this on my nexus one and it works fine -- gallery is one of the options in the list of things to complete the action.
Note that when doing this kind of intent, you should wrap it in a chooser as documented in ACTION_GET_CONTENT, so the user can not select a default item for the options (and if they have somehow managed to select a default one, it won't prevent you from showing the entire list). This is the recommended way of having the user select content for you. If they want to have a file browser, they can install an app that also supports this intent for picking files, and it will show up in the list. For most users, though, making them deal with a file browser is NOT desirable.
