SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent

Question

I have published app which main task is forwarding intents to other apps. Some users started getting strange error when sending anything to google+ app:

 java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEND typ=image/jpeg flg=0x3000000 cmp=com.google.android.apps.plus/.phone.PostActivity (has extras) } from ProcessRecord{409b7828 14815:com.andmadesoft.share/10128} (pid=14815, uid=10128) requires null

I can not reproduce the error on any of my test phones. Hope anyone can help me with this error.

Sending code part at ShareIntentResolver activity:

...
Context cont;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState, CharSequence title, Intent target, ArrayList<Intent> extraIntents) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        cont = this;
...

private void resolveIntent(IntentInfo ii){
        ii.sendIntent(cont);  // error is got here
}

IntentInfo class:

public void sendIntent(Context context) {
        context.startActivity(intent); //intent is just any intent that I am forwarding
}

I think you are not declaring some permission in AndroidManifest.xml file. Check it first... — Krishna Suthar, Apr 19 '12 at 07:05
Seems that no permissions are needed to send Intent with Action SEND. In addition this code actually works on all of my friends phones, so AndroidManifest.xml file is correct I suppose. — user1218971, Apr 19 '12 at 07:12
In the market-publisher (where you got this stacktrace) you can see what phones/android version they got. Maybe some security thing has changed. If you post those phones/version, we might know more. — Ion Aalbers, Apr 19 '12 at 07:22
Just try these two permissions - `` `` `` I'm not sure with this. But, i've used this one. I've already answered [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9273051/940096) Refer that also. — Praveenkumar, Apr 19 '12 at 07:23
SpK, think those permissions is concerned about email sending but my problem is a bit different - app fails when shareing to google+ not to gmail — user1218971, Apr 19 '12 at 07:42
