I've found a solution. Not perfect, but still... It is described here. You need to add next code to your activity description in AndroidManifest file:

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

So you need to choose "Files" option and your application will be available from menu:

I'm still looking for solution to make app available from first 'chooser' menu. If anyone willing to help.

Try using the android.intent.action.PICK filter inside your activity.

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.PICK"></action>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
    <data android:scheme="folder"></data>
</intent-filter>

From the android doc it says about ACTION_PICK:

Activity Action: Pick an item from the data, returning what was selected.
