build NFC reader in android application

Question

i cant find simple resource to read an NFC Tag. I have looked at the sample code, in the SDK manager but when i run it, it doesn't read my tag. This is something similar that i am trying to accomplish, here Reading Data from NFC Tag , but i don't know exactly what goes in the manifest file???? any help please! this is what i have in my manifest at the moment.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC"/> 

<activity
        android:name="com.test.nfc.TagsActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <action android:name="android.nfc.action.TAG_DISCOVERED"/>
            <action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED"/>
            <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
