Add custom UIActivity for standard apps

Question

dear community,

A simple question but no clear answer yet.

Can I add my button to standard UIActivityController so that when user goes to Photos/Notes/Safari he can also along with twitter/facebook post it to my destination ?

I'm sure I can do that while calling UIActivityViewController from within my app. And looks like there is a way to do that for mail attachments. Box app can do that here, probably via CFBundleDocumentTypes in plist. But is there a way to do that with e.g. photos?

Hopefully anybody can give me any useful links with examples of such implementation.

Thanks a lot

As of iOS 6, there is no way to add a custom UIActivity item to built-in apps like Photos, Notes, or Safari.

Custom UIActivity items can only be added to third-party apps.
