share.setType("image/jpeg");  
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/images/end_level_10.png"));

change the above code to

share.setType("image/png");

or

share.setType("image/*");

It is possible to share files (images including) from the assets folder through a custom ContentProvider

You need to extend ContentProvider, register it in your manifest and implement the openAssetFile method. You can then assess the assets via Uris.

add this to your manifest

<provider android:name="yourclass.that.extendsContentProvider"
        android:authorities="com.yourdomain.whatever"/>

example class,

   @Override
    public AssetFileDescriptor openAssetFile(Uri uri, String mode) throws FileNotFoundException {
        AssetManager am = getContext().getAssets();
        String file_name = uri.getLastPathSegment();

        if(file_name == null) 
            throw new FileNotFoundException();
        AssetFileDescriptor afd = null;
        try {
            afd = am.openFd(file_name);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

return afd;
}
