How do you turn off share history when using ShareActionProvider?

For me, the best solution for avoid the history icon is don’t use ShareActionProvider, instead of it, create it as any other action:

 <item 
    android:id="@+id/menu_action_share"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom" 
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_share"
    android:title="@string/share"/>   

at the menu/activity_actions.xml put a item with the ic_action_share icon…

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_actions, menu);
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
 }

Inflate the menu normally…

private void actionShare(){
     Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
     i.setType("text/plain");
     i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "my string");
     i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "another string");
     startActivity(i); 
     //Or like above will always display the chooser
     //startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, getResources().getText(R.string.share))); 
 }

Create a method with an ACTION_SEND intent

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.menu_item_share:
            actionShare();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    }

And finally call to this method from onOptionsItemSelected
