Answer 1

If you had two activities in your manifest file, say Main and MediaShare then it would look something like this:

<activity android:name="Main" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="MediaShare" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
        <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

The android.intent.action.SEND action and android:mimeType="image/*" data should go with the activity you want to start when you share an image.

Answer 2

Put your intent filter under activity you want to start into your manifest

 <activity android:name=".Theme"
           android:label="MAIN">
   <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
   </intent-filter>
</activity>

 <activity android:name=".Theme"
           android:label="ActiVITY2">
  <intent-filter>
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
   <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
   <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
  </intent-filter>
</activity>
