How to force Share Intent to open a specific app?

For Facebook

public void shareFacebook() {
        String fullUrl = "https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=..";
        try {
            Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            sharingIntent.setClassName("com.facebook.katana",
                    "com.facebook.katana.ShareLinkActivity");
            sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "your title text");
            startActivity(sharingIntent);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            i.setData(Uri.parse(fullUrl));
            startActivity(i);

        }
    }

For Twitter.

public void shareTwitter() {
        String message = "Your message to post";
        try {
            Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            sharingIntent.setClassName("com.twitter.android","com.twitter.android.PostActivity");
            sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
            startActivity(sharingIntent);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("In Exception", "Comes here");
            Intent i = new Intent();
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
            i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            i.setData(Uri.parse("https://mobile.twitter.com/compose/tweet"));
            startActivity(i);
        }
    }
