Try this,

First You need to add permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

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

Note : for Marshmallow and above version You need Runtime Permission of WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and Here is good example of Runtime Permission for EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Then use following code to share your Image

Bitmap b =BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.pic);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
String path =  MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),
                    b, "Title", null);
Uri a=  Uri.parse(path);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, a);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));

Thanks for the complement sir, @NileshRathod. I am learning from you Great Developers — UltimateDevil, Oct 14 '17 at 09:43

Use this code to share image:

NOTE: you have to add WRITE/READ EXTERNAL STORAGE permission in Menifest file to do this:

           Bitmap mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.pic);
            String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),
                    mBitmap, "Image Description", null);
            Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);

            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            Log.d("imageUri", "imageUriIs" + uri);
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "");
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareMSG);
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "TITLE");
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
            intent.setType("image/*");
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "APPNAME"));
