Try this

Bitmap icon = mBitmap;
    Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.setType("image/jpeg");
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    icon.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
    File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "temporary_file.jpg");
    try {
        f.createNewFile();
        FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
        fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
    } catch (IOException e) {                       
            e.printStackTrace();
    }
    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/temporary_file.jpg"));
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));

check the image path and also try saving them in temp folder and replace them so that the path of folder remains the same . – Vaibs_Cool Oct 07 '13 at 06:52
you said first we have to save server image also on local and get the path of image and show on wall is it correct. – user2853462 Oct 07 '13 at 07:08

This is the solution I came up with: This function allows you to share to instagram, facebook or any other app if you know the package name. If the app is not installed it redirects to the Play Store. If you send "others" as parameters, you will display a list of apps that also support image sharing.

shareImageIntent(mActivity,"image/*", "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Instagram/IMG_20150120_095603.jpg", "Instagram Sharing test. #Josh","com.instagram.android"); // parameters - for facebook: "com.facebook.katana" , to display list of other apps you can share to: "others"

 public void shareImageIntent(Activity a,String type, String mediaPath, String caption, String app){
        Intent intent = mContext.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(app);
        if ((intent != null)||(app.equals("others"))){

            // Create the new Intent using the 'Send' action.
            Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

            if(!app.equals("others"))
                share.setPackage(app);

            // Set the MIME type
            share.setType(type);    

            // Create the URI from the media
            File media = new File(mediaPath);
            Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(media);

            // Add the URI and the caption to the Intent.
            share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
            share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, caption);
            // Broadcast the Intent.
            //startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share to"));
            a.startActivity(share);
            }
        else{
            intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            //intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id="+"com.instagram.android"));
            intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id="+app));
            a.startActivity(intent);            
            }   
        }

You can not use Intent to post to Facebook. They have specifically blocked this. You have to either use their SDK or copy it to the clipboard and have the user paste it after the facebook interface opens. I am having this same problem.
