I did in different way, no need to implement custom component:

Send Intent:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My feature text");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
Intent receiver = new Intent(this, ApplicationSelectorReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, receiver, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null, pendingIntent.getIntentSender());
startActivity(chooser);

Add BroadcastReceiver ApplicationSelectorReceiver.class in manifest.

ApplicationSelectorReceiver.java

public class ApplicationSelectorReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        for (String key : Objects.requireNonNull(intent.getExtras()).keySet()) {
            try {
                ComponentName componentInfo = (ComponentName) intent.getExtras().get(key);
                PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
                assert componentInfo != null;
                String appName = (String) packageManager.getApplicationLabel(packageManager.getApplicationInfo(componentInfo.getPackageName(), PackageManager.GET_META_DATA));
                Log.i("Selected Application Name", appName);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }    
        }
    }
}

Result:

Gmail
Facebook
Hangouts
Instagram
Drive
