This snippet of code shares on facebook without necessarily having the app installed, it checks if you have the app, if you don’t have it share, but in this case it’s sharing a Link, I hope the validations that check if you have the app help you!

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, urlToShare);
// See if official Facebook app is found
boolean facebookAppFound = false;
List<ResolveInfo> matches = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo info : matches) {
     if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().startsWith("com.facebook")){
          intent.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
          facebookAppFound = true;
          break;  
     }
}
// As fallback, launch sharer.php in a browser
if (!facebookAppFound) {
     String sharerUrl = "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" +              urlToShare;
     intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(sharerUrl));
}
startActivity(intent);
