Facebook not getting message from intent

Question

I have used share inbuilt dialog of android. Which fetch all application which is getting ACTION_SEND intent. My code is

        Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");            
        sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                sharetext);
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share"));

I am getting all apps like bluetooth, gmail, facebook, messaging, twitter, whatsapp in the list

All apps getting my message but not facebook. What should i do to send message in facebook app. How it will detect my message. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

is facebook showing in the chooser? or is the problem related to facebook not taking in account your EXTRA_TEXT? — Romain Piel, Nov 07 '11 at 10:51

It is a known bug and it's recorded on Facebook Platform Developers forum: http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?id=93900

Apparently sharing text on facebook is possible on a few phones but it's still buggy on others: Share Text on Facebook from Android App via ACTION_SEND
