title: External share in android
body: <p>I want to receive the externally shared content from others apps to my android app.</p>
  
  <p>I have checked this url <a href="https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive.html?hl=es" rel="nofollow">https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive.html?hl=es</a> and handled the receiving intent in my activity.</p>
  
  <p>I have also implemented the external share of content from my application to other apps installed in the phone.</p>
  
  <p>I am getting the below issues in receiving the content from other apps to my android app.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>When I share any photo from Facebook app to my application, it each time open a new app with the activity which I have mentioned in the manifest with <strong>intent-filters</strong></p></li>
  <li><p>But when I share any content from Facebook to my app, a activity open ups with in my app only. It does not open up a new Facebook app.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I also want to implement this in my app, so that if users of my app will share any content from others apps to my app, it will not open a new app but should open the the activity within that app only.</p>
  
  <p>Please help me if anyone have idea here.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot.</p>
