I guess you are looking for document_set_filetype() described here:

Its most likely that the so file will be not binary compatible with
Geany from Ubuntu due different build of Geany. Recompiling should
work. Maybe you should also send the .c file to the devel list as most
of ppl around will have the same issues.
