This will display only email apps in your chooser:

     private void sendMail() {
        String recipientList = "[email protected],[email protected]";
        String[] recipients = recipientList.split(",");

        String subject = "App Subject - Help me";

        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
                "mailto","[email protected]", null));
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);

        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Choose an Email Client"));
    }

Try this: 

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
            "mailto","[email protected]", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "EXTRA_SUBJECT");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));

Hope this helps.

We can't tell you where you are wrong as you have not posted your code. Try the below code(works both on device and emulator), if it works then there something wrong on your part and if doesn't try installing another e-mail client.

TextView email = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.email);
email.setText(Html.fromHtml("<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">E-mail</a>"));
email.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

"Choose an email client option" - That window is automatically populated by Android.

It won't work on the emulator unless you install an application that can handle email. By default no such app is installed. Try to install an email client on your real device and re-test this.
