share image with caption to social media using intent android

I am facing a small problem in sharing image using intent. This is my case, I want to share an image with caption (caption may be link or text), when i used the below code

Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            shareIntent.setType("text/plain");

            shareIntent.setType("image/*");

            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
                    R.drawable.whatsapp_promotion);
            ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, os);

            String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(
                    getContentResolver(), bitmap, null, null);
            Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
            shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
            shareIntent
                    .putExtra(
                            Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                            "**my message with URL **");

            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Via..."));

I can share with hangout, whatsapp, twitter etc., but am not able to share with facebook. So what i decided is one image with the caption that's it, that can be share in whatsapp, hangout, facebook etc.,

How to do this, please help me out

Thanks in advance

Here is the documentation to share photos on facebook https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android#photos

Here is the code snippet to build content for your image

Bitmap image = ...
SharePhoto photo = new SharePhoto.Builder()
        .setBitmap(image)
        .setCaption("Enter your caption")
        .build();
SharePhotoContent content = new SharePhotoContent.Builder()
        .addPhoto(photo)
        .build();

And then to share ShareDialog.show(YourActivity.this, content);

Complete documentation for sharing on facebook here : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android

You need the Facebook sdk, and then you can do this:

    SharePhoto photo = new SharePhoto.Builder().setBitmap(
            getYourBitmapMethod()).build();

    SharePhotoContent content = new SharePhotoContent.Builder()
            .addPhoto(photo).setRef("This is a test").build();

    ShareDialog.show(YourActivity.this, content);

You cannot share image and text to Facebook through Intent.For that,you have to use Facebook API.
