Comment:

 I'm not sure how we'd support this in core. In order to record activity
 items, you have to have a customized piece of text for the action, like
 "%s posted a new blog post %s". There's no real place for that in
 register_post_type().

 When I build custom post types that I want to appear in the activity
 stream, I just build a little function that hooks to save_post and records
 a new activity item using something like bp_activity_add(). I don't think
 it's unreasonable to expect plugin authors to do this.

 In other words, anointed +1 :)
