The share dialog get the labels from the ResolveInfo object LINK.

It get those objects by calling:

List<ResolveInfo> targets = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(targetIntent, 0);

in the ResolveInfo you can get the label using:

resolveInfo.loadLabel(packageManager);

I was using packageManager.getApplciationInfo to get applciation name which was not providing Tweet and Direct Message,It was providing Only Twitter itself.Your piece of code works fine. – Anand DR Aug 17 '16 at 11:54
@AnandDR ApplicationInfo have info about "everything inside the APK together". ResolveInfo gives you a direct intent, which one application can have more than one intent-filter that match your share requirements. – Budius Aug 17 '16 at 14:10
