What is the use case for having an add-on act as an app that handles a MozActivity? Add-ons can already have a settings panel by simply injecting themselves into the Settings app. And IIRC, some add-ons even add a button in the Settings app which will "launch" their add-on, and show a configuration page from within their "app". If you wanted to handle a MozActivity from an add-on, why not inject into a Gaia app that already handles that activity and extend the functionality from there?
