Sorry for late reply. I suppose your problem must be solved by now. You can try following code to open conversation for not saved numbers:

private void openWhatsApp(String number) {
        try {
            number = number.replace(" ", "").replace("+", "");

            Intent sendIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
            sendIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.whatsapp","com.whatsapp.Conversation"));
            sendIntent.putExtra("jid", PhoneNumberUtils.stripSeparators(number)+"@s.whatsapp.net");
            context.startActivity(sendIntent);

        } catch(Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "ERROR_OPEN_MESSANGER"+e.toString());
        }
    }
