why don t you use FaceBookShareDialog? check Facebook SDK or here https://github.com/b099l3/FacebookImageShareIntent — longi, Jan 09 '15 at 11:02
Using the intent is fine, however Facebook will not let you set the message as that is against Platform Policies. The user MUST type in the message themselves. — Ming Li, Jan 09 '15 at 17:19

Instead of using Intent to share in facebook you should try to use their WebDialog in sharing. Using Intent is not reliable all the time. (Sorry for my english :))

Here is my sample code:

Bundle params = new Bundle();
        params.putString("name", name);
        params.putString("caption", caption);
        params.putString("description", desctription);
        params.putString("picture", image);

        WebDialog feedDialog = (new WebDialog.FeedDialogBuilder(context, Session.getActiveSession(), params))
                .setOnCompleteListener(new WebDialog.OnCompleteListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onComplete(Bundle values, FacebookException error) {
                        if (error == null) {
                            final String postId = values.getString("post_id");
                            if (postId != null) {
                                ShareDialog.this.dismiss();
                                Toast.makeText(context, "Shared Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            } else {
                                Toast.makeText(context.getApplicationContext(), "Publish cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            }
                        } else if (error instanceof FacebookOperationCanceledException) {
                            // User clicked the "x" button
                            Toast.makeText(context.getApplicationContext(), "Publish cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        } else {
                            Toast.makeText(context.getApplicationContext(), "Error posting story", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        }
                    }
                })
                .build();
        feedDialog.show();
