You need to register it as a reciever for the SEND action. An example is given here. The mime type for pdf is 'application/pdf'.

I think you cannot force that, its totally on android system, thats why it pushes for a chooser with all the apps that has registered themselves as handler for specified data type, following which user can mark it as default or not.
