This code will let you find all the apps available for the specified intent:

public static ArrayList<Availables> getAvailableAppsForIntent(Intent intent, Context context) {
    ArrayList<Availables> availables = new ArrayList<Availables>();

    PackageManager manager = context.getPackageManager();
    List<ResolveInfo> infos = manager.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.GET_RESOLVED_FILTER);

    for(ResolveInfo info : infos) {
        ActivityInfo activityInfo = info.activityInfo;
        IntentFilter filter = info.filter;
        if (filter != null && filter.hasAction(intent.getAction())) {

            // This activity resolves my Intent with the filter I'm looking for
            String activityPackageName = activityInfo.packageName;
            String activityName = activityInfo.loadLabel(manager).toString();
            String activityFullName = activityInfo.name;
            Drawable icon = activityInfo.loadIcon(manager);
            Availables available = new Availables(activityName, activityFullName, activityPackageName, icon);
            available.setForIntent(intent);
            availables.add(available);
        }
    }

    return availables;
}

Availables is just a class i created to store all the informations about the apps but you can manage it however you want. then you can start the app this way:

    Intent intent = available.getForIntent();
    intent.setPackage(available.getAppPackage());
    context.startActivity(intent);

Hope it helps!

Write code on click of any View:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Your Subject Here");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Your Message Here...");
return intent;
