This is what worked for me perfectly.

            Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");

            shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getResources().getString(R.string.share_subject));
            shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getResources().getString(R.string.share_message));

            shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("android.resource://" + C.PROJECT_PATH + "/drawable/" + R.drawable.image_to_share);

            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Image"));

But I will always recommend to decode a Bitmap from this resource, save it as a File in the storage and then use that file. A more reliable way this directly using from the resources.
