Yes you can give this code a try

try {
    Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    Uri phototUri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/Pictures/yourimage.png");
    shareIntent.setType("image/png");
    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, phototUri);
    shareIntent.setClassName("com.twitter.android","com.twitter.android.PostActivity");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Image"));
} catch (Exception e) {
    Intent i = new Intent();
    i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
    i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    i.setData(Uri.parse("https://mobile.twitter.com/compose/tweet"));
    startActivity(i);
}

Thanks, I tried this already. But I want to share only on Twitter. This will pop up all the share options! – Sreejith SP Nov 15 '13 at 12:27
