If you want to send the email from your app you will have to implement IMAP or SMTP protocols in your application. There may be some third-party libraries available already

And if you're asking about behavior of the GMail app after it proceeds your intent, you can't alter it

thanks for ur answer..I am using email intent that enable the user to type their message now I want the composer sheet back button returns to my activity rather than opening inbox – micky Mar 27 '14 at 06:45
That is not possible. It's up to that email activity to define what happens when user clicks the back button – Anton Mar 27 '14 at 06:49
what about startActivityForResult? – micky Mar 27 '14 at 06:56
startActivityForResult won't work, unfortunately (meaning that it won't return a result **after** sending, but **before** - so you can't pop up a message saying "eMail sent"). – Phantômaxx Mar 27 '14 at 08:33

Yes it is possible for that you have to build the Php backend(webservice) for sending email, in that you can put subject,recipient address and message with that webservice.
