                                           //in catch block will be called
                                           waIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");

Try this to share your url in whatsapp.

For better usage define a function for sharing in whatsapp like below. 

void shareinWhatsapp(String shareURL) {
        Intent waIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        waIntent.setType("text/plain");
        waIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
        if (waIntent != null) {
            waIntent.putExtra(
                    Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                    shareURL);
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(waIntent, "Share with"));
        } else
            Toast.makeText(this, "WhatsApp not Installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
    }

Then call the function whenever the share on whatsapp button is clicked. Do as like below..

whatsapp_share.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                shareinWhatsapp();
            }
        });

Hope this will work for you.. Kindly try this..
