Question

String message = "Text I want to share";
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share,"Share on"));

right now it shows the default options like: Bluetooth, Email, Facebook, Gmail, LinkedIn, Messaging, Share Via Barcode.

or are these the installed apps?

what i want is to know, how i can remove few from this list. like i want to remove Share Via Barcode.

and add something else?

Thank You

Use below code to add a new Item to the Chooser Screen.

Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");       
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);

Intent addIntent = ;//whatever you want

Intent chooser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, share );      
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "title");

Intent[] intentArray =  {addIntent }; 
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray);
startActivity(chooser);

But removing specific items is not possible. So you could resolve the intent using Packagemanager.resolveActivity and create your own custom list view
