Here's the answer.

Just include "privacy" in the Bundle in JSONObject format, including value "SELF", "ALL_FRIENDS" OR "EVERYONE".

This is using android SDK 2.0, and 3.0 is now avaliable, But the way to use graph api is the same, left comment if you reach any problem:).

public String PostWall(String Message,int Level){
    /***********************************************************
        * level 0 ==>only me
        * level 1==>friend only
        * level 2==>public
        * level >2 ==>error
    ***********************************************************/
    Bundle params = new Bundle();
    params.putString("message", Message);
    JSONObject privacy = new JSONObject();
    try {
        switch (Level){
            case 0: 
                privacy.put("value", "SELF");
                break;
            case 1: 
                privacy.put("value", "ALL_FRIENDS");
                break;
            case 2: 
                privacy.put("value", "EVERYONE");
                break;
        }
    } catch (JSONException e1) {
    }
    params.putString("privacy", privacy.toString());
    //Step 2 Request
    String resp= "";
    try {
        resp = fb.request("me/feed", params, "POST");
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }
    try{
        resp = new JSONObject(resp).getString("id");
        if(enableLog){
            Log.d(LOGTAG,"*****POSTWALL END*****");
            Log.d(LOGTAG,"RETURN "+resp);
        }
        return resp;
    }catch(JSONException e1){
    }
}
};
