First of all add intent filter to manifest

 <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        <data android:mimeType="video/*"/>
        <data android:scheme="content"/>
        <data android:scheme="file"/>
    </intent-filter>

Then to get video URI in you Activity:

Uri uri = getIntent().getData();
