                imgtellfriend.startAnimation(anim);

                Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
                sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

                Log.d("MEssage FB","--------- App :: "+info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase());

                if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().contains(type) || 
                        info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains(type) )

                    found = true;

                }
            }

                return;
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));
        }
    }

    private class MessageListener implements SocialAuthListener<Integer>
    {
        @Override
        public void onExecute(String provider, Integer t) 
        {
            Integer status = t;
            if (status.intValue() == 200 || status.intValue() == 201 || status.intValue() == 204)
                Toast.makeText(Catagories.this, "Message posted on " + provider, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            else
                Toast.makeText(Catagories.this, "Message not posted on " + provider, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onError(SocialAuthError e) {
    }

I am using socialauth library for that.

SocialAUth Android new version is working for facebook. The only thing is you need to use native facebook android login.

socialauth library uses old facebook sdk. dont use that. you can directly use intent filter to share on social networks.

[Updated one]

check this

Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
 shareIntent.setType("image/png");
 shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"YOUR TEXT HERE");
 shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"YOUR TEXT HERE");
 shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,pngUri);
 PackageManager pm = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
 List<ResolveInfo> activityList = pm.queryIntentActivities(shareIntent, 0);
for (final ResolveInfo app : activityList) {
    if ((app.activityInfo.name).contains("facebook")) {
        final ActivityInfo activity = app.activityInfo;
        final ComponentName name = new ComponentName(
                    activity.applicationInfo.packageName,
                    activity.name);
        shareIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
        shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
                            | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
        shareIntent.setComponent(name);
        startActivity(shareIntent);
            }
        }
    }

@PoojaRoy You can download Facebook SDK 4.0 and run HelloSample, it contains this source code — BaDo, Apr 05 '15 at 02:15
