I'm using an Intent with ACTION_SEND and I need to share different texts. I need to send a text for Gmail and I need to send other text for twitter. depends on the application. Can I get the application selected by the user before the application sends the text shared?

Yes, you can get the application selected by the user before the application sends the text shared. For this you have to make a workaround, i.e.:

You have to get list of which applications are supported for this intent by:

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
List activities = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(sharingIntent,0);

By getting the list. we can built a alert dialog and then make listener for different applications.

In general you can't be sure which application will receive your ACTION_SEND intent.

This answer explains why you probably shouldn't do customization based on predicting which application the user will end up in.

This answer explains a workaround for TwiDroyd, which you probably shouldn't use but may help you in the short term.

I don't have idea of getting the user selected application to send something.

But you can choose programatically the apk to open your intent using an IntentResolver.
