Answer 1

you should try this

    Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
    sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Your message");
    sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
    sendIntent.setPackage("com.facebook.orca");

    try {
        startActivity(sendIntent);
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
        ToastHelper.show(this, "Please Install Facebook Messenger");
    }

It will open Facebook Messenger app, select a friend and the message will be send.
