Where do you want to share. In what format do you want to share. — Vinothkumar Arputharaj, Feb 26 '14 at 09:08
Have you added "android.permission.SEND_SMS" permission in the manifest file. If you use KIT KAT android version, read this post http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2013/10/getting-your-sms-apps-ready-for-kitkat.html to send sms — Vinothkumar Arputharaj, Feb 26 '14 at 10:11
@VinothkumarArputharaj also add the permission ...and not need to run in kit kat..its run below api level 18 — Gorgeous_DroidVirus, Feb 26 '14 at 10:17
@Android_Virus you cannot send send SMS in KITKAT version. You need to set your application as the default messaging app. Please refer the link I 've mentioned in the above comment for best practice. — Vinothkumar Arputharaj, Feb 28 '14 at 06:22

Marker.getPosition() will return LatLng

LatLng latlng = Marker.getPosition();
Double latitude = latlng.latitude;
Double longitude = latlng.longitude;

You can manipulate the latitude and longitude values to construct your data format. And use Intent chooser to share.

For example "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" + latitude + "," + longitude + "&iwloc=A" and share it via SMS

    String uri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=" +latitude+","+longitude;
    Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
    String ShareSub = "Here is my location";
    sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, ShareSub);
    sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, uri );
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share via"));
