Share photo TO Phonegap app

Question

I am trying to send to my phonegap application an image from the image gallery, using the 'share' feature.

1. To display my app in the 'share' list, I have followed this post

2. I have added the following in my AndroidManifest.xml

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

3. My app is now properly listed in the 'share' list

4. I click on my app

5. I am using cordova-webintent plugin to intercept the intent and get EXTRA( my image )

6. I am using this code below to get my image

   window.plugins.webintent.getExtra(window.plugins.webintent.EXTRA_STREAM, 
        function(data) {
            console.log(data)
           }, function(e) {
               console.log(e)
               // There was no extra supplied.
           }
   );  
   

7. The success callback is called, but 'data' contains 'true'

I was expecting to have either an url, or a base64 string of my image

FYI, i have also tried window.plugins.webintent.EXTRA_TEXT but i guess this is only for sharing link, text.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
