setting the default applications for a file type in iphone

Question

Hai all,

In my iphone application i want to open a my custom application(available in the iphone) when the user tapes on a particular type file sent by email or MMS ,

for example, if i sent an music file (via email or MMS) with a custom extension (for eg: .muc) i want to open my application (lets say myMusicPlayer) to play that file,

is there any way to do that in iphone ?

thanks in advance

There is currently no way to do this exactly. The only way to open an application is using a URL scheme assigned to your app via the Info.plist file but you wouldn't be able to send the local file system location of your file to it.
