Steps to reproduce: Run an app containing this activity:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  private static final int REQUEST_ID=1337;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Intent i=new Intent(MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION);

    startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_ID);
  }

  @Override
  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
                                  Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_ID && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
      Toast.makeText(this, "Recording finished!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
           .show();
    }

    finish();
  }
}

(from this sample project: https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/tree/master/Media/SoundRecordIntent)

Expected result: An audio recording activity, supplied by the system, to appear

Actual result: ActivityNotFoundException

This Intent action is not documented as being optional:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Audio.Media.html#RECORD_SOUND_ACTION

And since AFAIK the AOSP ships with an activity that supports this Intent, the Compatibility Definition Document indicates that Play Store-equipped devices should support it as well (even if it is a replacement activity). Hence, developers will expect it to exist.

Thanks!
