Add this intent filter for your app to be visible for all contacts.

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/name" />
    </intent-filter>

Change the mimetype, so that only contacts with a particular data have your activity.

e.g if you want your activity to show only for contacts with email then change mimetype to vnd.android.cursor.item/email_v2 . You can get the mimetype names from the subclasses of DataColumns

Exactly this behavior is possible only when your app in an only app on users device which is capable to process desired type of content. For example, if you want to use type of content "send SMS", or "make a phone call" - your app most likely is not the only app on the device which can process such actions (there are also stock phone dialer and SMS apps).

Anyway, you can always add your application to the list of apps which will appear when user clicks to that quick actions. It will look like this:

In order to do this, you need:

specify in your manifest file that your application is capable to deal with desired action, for example "sending SMS". To do this you need to add intent filter to your Activity, that you wish to be called in that case:

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="sms" />
    <data android:scheme="smsto" />
</intent-filter>

in your target Activity add code, that process desired content type. In your target Activity onCreate() method, or onNewIntent() method query data string parameter from calling Intent. Here is some sample code to demonstrate general idea:

public class MyActivity extends Avtivity {
@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    String dataStr = intent.getDataString();
    // do some processing with dataStr 
}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Intent callIntent = getIntent();
    String dataStr = callIntent.getDataString();
    // do some processing with dataStr 
}
}
