[SOLVED] Why is my BroadcastReceiver not detecting incoming files sent over android beam

Why is my BroadcastReceiver not detecting incoming files sent over android beam

Here is my manifest code for the BroadcastReceiver:

 <receiver android:name=".BeamFilter" >
        <intent-filter android:priority="99999" >
            <action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <data android:mimeType="image/jpg"/>


        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Here is the BeamFilter class:

package com.example.test.heavykey;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Arrays;


public class BeamFilter extends BroadcastReceiver {
private File mParentPath;

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    System.out.println("Incoming Data");

}
}

and here is the code which sends the beam(from another instance of the app on a separate device)

  Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
  i.setType("image/jpg");
  i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new    File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "test.jpg")));
  startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send image"));

The file is successfully saved to the external directory, but I can't for the life of me figure out why my Broadcast-receiver isn't executing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
