   if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
    {
        uri=FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(),BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID+".provider",new File(list.get(position)));
    }else{
        uri=Uri.parse(list.get(position));
    }
    Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ATTACH_DATA);
    intent.setDataAndType(uri,"image/*");
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri);
    startActivity(intent);

Finally after 1 day of exploring I came up with the Solution

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ATTACH_DATA);
intent.setDataAndType(uri), "image/jpg");
intent.putExtra("mimeType", "image/jpg");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Set image as"), 200);

With the help of this code snippet, you can set profile photo of Whatsapp as well as Contacts.

You can open Whatsapp or share image and video but can't change profile picture from your own app.
