Android - Add buttons to stock camera

I currently have an app that has a Share Via button on images, I was wondering if it's possible to maybe somehow add a button to the camera itself that allow to take a picture and pass it to my activity?

I know I can make an activity which takes an image from within my activity and then get the image, but I was wondering if there's a way to add it to the stock camera.

Thanks

You can only register to the share intent from the gallery:

<intent-filter ...>
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
   <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
</intent-filter>

This will allow your users to take pictures, than share to your app from the gallery (not from camera app)

For obvious reasons, you cannot add a button for your app only in stock camera app.
