Should be:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); // action must be SEND not VIEW
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "some text"); 
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url));
sendIntent.setType("image/png");  // seems like you need write with little letter here

So in your code you have wrong action it should be ACTION_SEND and your type is wrong too. It should be "image/png".

And your URL to image must be right.

what does it do? it sends mms with autoloaded picture from external url? – Flash Thunder Jan 17 '15 at 09:37
I am not sure what this url exactly, it doesn't matter, i think, just some uri needed, I just wrote an example how to use intent in right way – Vito Jan 19 '15 at 09:10
you better ask user3849098, where did he use it – Vito Jan 19 '15 at 09:11
