Seems in version 4.0.0 of Facebook so many things has changed. This is my code which is working fine. Hope it helps you.

    /**
     * Facebook does not support sharing content without using their SDK however
     * it is possible to share URL
     *
     * @param content
     * @param url
     */
    private void shareOnFacebook(String content, String url)
    {
        try
        {
            // TODO: This part does not work properly based on my test
            Intent fbIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            fbIntent.setType("text/plain");
            fbIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, content);
            fbIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, url);
            fbIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
            fbIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
                    | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
            fbIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.facebook.katana",
                    "com.facebook.composer.shareintent.ImplicitShareIntentHandler"));

            startActivity(fbIntent);
            return;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            // User doesn't have Facebook app installed. Try sharing through browser.
        }

        // If we failed (not native FB app installed), try share through SEND
        String sharerUrl = "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" + url;
        SupportUtils.doShowUri(this.getActivity(), sharerUrl);
    }
