This works on the latest version:

1. Go to https://graph.facebook.com/ (https://graph.facebook.com/fsintents for instance)
2. Copy your id

3. Use this method:

   public static Intent getOpenFacebookIntent(Context context) {
   
      try {
       context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0);
       return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://page/"));
      } catch (Exception e) {
       return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.facebook.com/"));
      }
   }
   

This will open the Facebook app if the user has it installed. Otherwise, it will open Facebook in the browser.

EDIT: since version 11.0.0.11.23 (3002850) Facebook App do not support this way anymore, there's another way, check the response below from Jared Rummler.
