The keywords are Intent filters, Content Providers, Services. These can be used

In my case, it's intended to provide effects for my app, TapeMachine:

http://tapemachine.samalyse.com/
Users are requesting effects.
Also, I think that Android is quite unique (amongst popular mobile platforms)

when it comes to providing a high-level of inter-operability between apps, such

as here in the case of plugins.
And now I need to go, I'm late and a friend of mine is giving a concert.
