Answer 1

share_intent.setPackage(share_appname);: share_appname should contain the pcakage name of the application, you want to handle the intent. As you said in comment, you are using com.facebook as a package name, but facebook application has different package name: com.facebook.katana. You can check package name at google play market page of the application (in web browser): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.katana
