Launch Specific App when NFC is discovered

I am using NFC in my app and it is working fine. However I want to make sure that only my app is launched and no other App is there to handle the intent. Following is the code for it in my Manifest file:

<activity android:name="com.mypackage.name.BeamActivity">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

I have another sample app on my phone which is detecting NFC Intent and providing me Intent Chooser. Following is the code for it in Manifest file.

<activity android:name="com.package2.name.NFCStickyNotesActivity"  android:label="Sticky Notes" >
    <!-- Handle notes detected from outside our application -->
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

I would like my App to be the only app to handle the particular NFC Intent when my App push it across from another device.

I am not sure whether I have to do something specific in the manifest file or in the code. Any help is appreciated.
