I'm developing a phone call application similar to the native stock Android phone call application. It's completed and fully operational. I would like it that if a phone number link is pressed that it shows my app in the "To open with" list along side with the native app.

I've read about how a deep link can me made for a url and other files, but I haven't found anything related to dialing. I've tried the following, but it didn't work.

           <intent-filter
                android:label="@string/app_name">

                <data android:scheme="myapp"
                    android:mimeType="text/plain"/>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL"/>

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

            </intent-filter>

I got it working!

Started searching how others made their dialer applications work and found this post Android dialer application.

This last part of the marked answer is what made it work. 

<intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <data android:scheme="tel" />
 </intent-filter>
