You can get a list of the installed application on the device and check if the apps you are looking for are installed. Then give the user an option to choose the app he wants to share by

List<ApplicationInfo> packages = getPackageManager().getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);

for (ApplicationInfo appInfo : packages) {
    if ("com.facebook.katana".equals(appInfo.packageName)) {
        // Facebook app is installed, add to options list
    }

    // Do something similar for Twitter and Gmail
}

// Show user the options list

You can get a list of the installed application that support ACTION_SEND by 

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
    List activities = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(sharingIntent, 0);

and now u can build a custom dialog with only required applications by checking if these applications are in the list or not.

Please pass the class name in intent onClick of particular application of dialog
