Sending mms in android 4.4

Question

I'm trying to send mms from my app only. I made it default messaging app with help of android developers tutorial (http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2013/10/getting-your-sms-apps-ready-for-kitkat.html).

My manifest:

BroadcastReceiver that listens for incoming SMS messages:

   <receiver android:name="com.test.SmsReceiver"
        android:permission="android.permission.BROADCAST_SMS">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_DELIVER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

BroadcastReceiver that listens for incoming MMS messages

 <receiver android:name="com.test.MmsReceiver"
        android:permission="android.permission.BROADCAST_WAP_PUSH">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.WAP_PUSH_DELIVER" />
            <data android:mimeType="application/vnd.wap.mms-message" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Service that delivers messages from the phone quick response

<service android:name="com.test.HeadlessSmsSendService"
        android:permission="android.permission.SEND_RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE"
        android:exported="true" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <data android:scheme="sms" />
            <data android:scheme="smsto" />
            <data android:scheme="mms" />
            <data android:scheme="mmsto" />
        </intent-filter>
    </service>

NewMmsActivity Activity that allows the user to send new SMS/MMS messages:

 <activity android:name="com.test.NewMmsActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:launchMode="singleTop"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="sms" />
            <data android:scheme="smsto" />
            <data android:scheme="mms" />
            <data android:scheme="mmsto" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

But when I try in NewMmsActivity to send an mms it doesn't work and instead dialog is open like this:

CODE:

  Intent mmsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
  mmsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "text");
  mmsIntent.putExtra("address", "99999999");
  mmsIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(fileString)));
  mmsIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
  startActivity(mmsIntent);

If I use Intent.ACTION_SENDTO nothing happens. Intent is started without no problems but nothing is happening.

What am I missing?

Easiest way i found for sending mms is android-smsmms library found here: https://github.com/klinker41/android-smsmms

For gettings mmsc, proxy and port i used:

 final Cursor apnCursor = SqliteWrapper.query(mContext, this.mContext.getContentResolver(),
                Uri.withAppendedPath(Telephony.Carriers.CONTENT_URI, "current"), APN_PROJECTION, null, null, null);
        String type = null;
        if (apnCursor.moveToFirst()) {
            do {
                type = apnCursor.getString(3);
                if(type.equals("default,supl,mms") ||
                        type.equals("mms")) {
                    mmsc = apnCursor.getString(0);
                    proxy = apnCursor.getString(1);
                    port = apnCursor.getString(2);
}while (apnCursor.moveToNext());

In if loop i am checking if APN has MMS data that i need otherwise go to next one.
