Details
The "pick" MozActivity should support a generic media type, for instance: ``` new MozActivity({ name: 'pick', data: { type: '*/*' } }) ``` in order to allow the user to select any type of media. This is particularly relevant for MMS, where a user may want to attach audio, video, or image media. Ideally, this interaction could be supported with a single UI element which triggered a MozActivity as described above.

I think you should be able to do that with a regexp.

I was unable to get this working with a regexp (i.e. `type: /.*/`), but I did find that not specifying a `type` attribute triggers the desired behavior. Should I consider this behavior stable? (I found an example of this usage in the "Firefox OS Boilerplate App" project: https://github.com/robnyman/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/blob/b067664245e3f61fe30508d994cc0d0fb627bbc0/js/webapp.js#L45-L64 )

Not specifying the type effectively ignores it when looking for a match. I misread your question as being an activity provider. In this case you can use regexpes in your manifest like https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/browser/manifest.webapp#L48

This is just what I needed; I was assuming a non-existent API. Thanks for the information!
