This post in the Android Developers blog describes how to test for an Intent receiver without actually trying to send the Intent.

As a teaser, here's the important part of the code. You should read the blog post for more details and a complete function that you can copy and paste.

List<ResolveInfo> list =
        packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent,
                PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
return list.size() > 0;
