How do I make an intent-filter for playing an MP3 file?

Question

I have created a music player application in Android. Now, when selecting a music file in the phone's file manager, I want my application to appear as one of the options in the "Complete action using" popup. My idea is to do this using intent filter but I have no idea what action, category, or data I need to supply to it. How do I create an intent filter for this?

I've also seen a related question here: How do I make an intent-filter for streaming an MP3 file? but mine is not streaming, i am just playing music from file.

Thank you in advance.
