2 changes recommended to implement share in your picture app :

In the manifest, add this to the filter for the action you want to include in the menu that will drop-down when the user taps the standard share icon from the standard action bar:

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
    </intent-filter>

In your OnCreate/OnResume for the activity which contains the manifest filter above... handle the SEND : 

   if (Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(
       getIntent().getAction()) && getIntent().getType() != null) {
       ...
    }
