Sharing the Android way doesn't involve integrating services one by one. That would require you to update your app any time a new service launches that you might want to integrate with. Instead you use the ACTION_SEND Intent.
This blog post gives a good intro to its use: http://sudarmuthu.com/blog/sharing-content-in-android-using-action_send-intent
When you implement sharing this way your users can share using any app they have installed on their device. If they install a new app that can accept sharing intents your app will immediately be able to integrate with it with no changes from you. The Google+ app accepts these sharing intents.

You can easily share to Google+ with ShareCompat, you only need the support library for that.
