I have improved @dacoinminster answer and this is the result with an example to share your app:

// Intents with SEND action
PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
List resolveInfoList = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(sendIntent, 0);

List intentList = new ArrayList();
Resources resources = context.getResources();

for (int j = 0; j < resolveInfoList.size(); j++) {
    ResolveInfo resolveInfo = resolveInfoList.get(j);
    String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName,
    resolveInfo.activityInfo.name));
    intent.setType("text/plain");

    if (packageName.contains("twitter")) {
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.twitter) + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + context.getPackageName());
    } else {
        // skip android mail and gmail to avoid adding to the list twice
        if (packageName.contains("android.email") || packageName.contains("android.gm")) {
            continue;
        }
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.largeTextForFacebookWhatsapp) + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + context.getPackageName());
    }

    intentList.add(new LabeledIntent(intent, packageName, resolveInfo.loadLabel(packageManager), resolveInfo.icon));
}

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:"));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, resources.getString(R.string.subjectForMailApps));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.largeTextForMailApps) + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + context.getPackageName());

context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, resources.getString(R.string.compartirEn)).putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentList.toArray(new LabeledIntent[intentList.size()])));
