How to create an Android Wear app with voice action recording?

I can't figure out how to create an Android Wear app that will allow me to use it to record notes via its built-in voice actions. I am declaring an intent filter as stated in Adding Voice Capabilities :

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
    <category android:name="com.google.android.voicesearch.SELF_NOTE"/>
</intent-filter>

It doesn't do anything, however, and the Wear app on the phone prevents me from setting the app as my default note-taking app. What do I need to do to make this happen?

The trick is to include the category android.intent.category.DEFAULT

as stated in the intent documentation . If it is absent, no implicit intent can be obtained by the application. It is also important to include the MIME type text/plain

. The complete declaration looks like this:



<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <category android:name="com.google.android.voicesearch.SELF_NOTE"/>

    <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
</intent-filter>

@Malcolm's answer by adding this line as well. It will work fine.

<action android:name="com.google.android.gm.action.AUTO_SEND" />

Full part
