    First make sure you have added permission

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

    Then use this code

    Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
Uri imageUri =  Uri.parse(this.imgUrl);                                
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));

    If targetSdkVersion is higher than 24, then Provider is used to grant access.

    Create an xml file : resxmlprovider_paths.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>

    now Add a Provider in AndroidManifest.xml file

    <provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
    android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
    android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
</provider>

    and replace this with your code

    Intent share = new Intent("android.intent.action.SEND");
            share.setType("image/jpeg");
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(MainActivity.this, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID+ ".provider",new File(this.imgUrl));
            share.putExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", uri);

            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "via"));

    Update

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<files-path name="external_files" path="."/>
<cache-path name="external_files" path="."/>
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
<external-files-path name="external_files" path="."/>
<external-cache-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>

    Try this:

    Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
     shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
     shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriToImage); 
     shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,getResources().getText(R.string.send_to)));

    Use File Provider for getting IMAGE URI and add flags to the
    intent…

    follow these steps carefully.. android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:///storage/emulated/0/test.txt exposed beyond app through Intent.getData() This update has been done since nougat..
