try This 

File sourceFile = new File("//mnt/sdcard/TviderFB.apk"); 
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Intent.setType("image/jpeg"); 
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri.fromFile(sourceFile));
startActivity(intent);

Or Read this carefully and implement this How to send file using bluetooth on android programatically?

Or Read This Tutorial to share via bluetooth http://kpbird.blogspot.in/2011/04/android-send-image-via-bluetooth.html

And Do not Forget to Declare Permissions in the manifest

If image is in picture folder then path will be like this

String sharePath = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory
        (Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) + "/Aaa.jpg"
