Why is my intent not starting an activity?

My code is this:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,"example @example. Com");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Grannylaunch Support Needed:" + System.currentTimeMillis());
startActivity(i);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Emailing Support....", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

My problem is the intent isnt starting an activity. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

I have tried settting intent = Intent.ActionSend instead but doesnt work.

EDIT - 

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,"[email protected]");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Grannylaunch Support Needed:" + System.currentTimeMillis());
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"");
startActivity(i);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Emailing Support....", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

This doesn't work either.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                    intent.setType("plain/text");
                    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]
                    { RECEIVER_EMIAL_ID });
                    // intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
                    // intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "mail body");
                    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Choose mail client"));

Try this code :

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{strEmail});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));

You need to configure an email account in your default Email application.

 Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                    email.setType("plain/text");
                    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
                            new String[] { [email protected]) });
                    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "");
                    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"");
                    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email,
                            "Choose an Email client :"));

protected void sendEmail() {
      Log.i("Send email", "");

      String[] TO = {"[email protected]"};
      String[] CC = {"[email protected]"};
      Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
      emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
      emailIntent.setType("text/plain");


      emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, TO);
      emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, CC);
      emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Your subject");
      emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email message goes here");

      try {
         startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
         finish();
         Log.i("Finished sending email...", "");
      } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
