@RishabhMaurya, it will open whats app conversation screen only, you can even set message to it. You have to type it manually :) – Geek Apr 05 '17 at 12:17

It is the best option so far. You can't expect option like Google assistant . – Rishabh Maurya Apr 05 '17 at 12:19

Try this :
Intent myIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
myIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.whatsapp","com.whatsapp.Conversation"));
myIntent.putExtra("abc", PhoneNumberUtils.stripSeparators("PHONE_NUMBER")+"@s.whatsapp.net");
startActivity(myIntent);
Where PHONE_NUMBER is number of the contact to which you want to send the message.

Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto" + "12345");
Intent i= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,uri);
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
startActivity(i);
