This makes no sense.
If you replace "service" with "activity", then it makes sense, and you
accomplish that via right MIME type in the <data> element of the
activity's <intent-filter>.
<activity android:name="DoYouReallyThinkYouCanWriteSuchAnActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<data android:mimeType="..." />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
(where the ... is replaced by a MIME type for the document file format)
You do not open a document with a service any more than you open a
document with a snowplow.
