Actually you need to remove intent-filter like CommonsWare said, so it must be as follows:

and instead of calling via external intent you should call zxing like:

private final static int ACTION_ZXING_SCANNER = 0x0000c0de; //IntentIntegrator.REQUEST_CODE
private void startZxingScanner() {
    final Intent intent = new Intent(this, com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity.class);
    intent.setAction(Intents.Scan.ACTION);
    startActivityForResult(intent, ACTION_ZXING_SCANNER);
}

and then process result in onActivityResult() using request code ACTION_ZXING_SCANNER. The import string if needed:

import com.google.zxing.client.android.Intents;

note: this works for me and I added zxing project as a lib to my project so here it is - the "zxing lib" :)
