Intent Filter to capture all sharing Intents

Question

How can I set my activity to be able to respond to any type of Sharing Intent.

I have tried:-

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <data android:mimeType="*"/>
</intent-filter>

However this does not work, I have read http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html but it is not clear how to be that open?

Any help will be much appreciated.
