Popup menu when pressing / selection any text on Android

Is there a way to popup a menu whenever user selects text on an Andriod device?

e.g. When user press down long on any text, default popup menu appear which contains; Copy, Cut, Paste...etc.

Is there a way to add another entry on that "Context Menu" that launches my app when pressed?

There are no facilities for adding your app to the OS default context menu in Android. You can set intent receivers in your AndroidManifest.xml that will 'listen' for certain actions and intercept them if allowed. For this reason, sometimes clicking icons or filesystem assets will prompt you with a chooser to select an application to open with.
