Yes it is. Twitter and Facebook has api for you to do those. Take a look at these Twitter Java APIs also checkout the facebook developer page

Try this :
findViewById(R.id.btnEnvoyer).setOnClickListener(
new Button.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent sendMailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendMailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getString(R.string.Share_Mail_Subject));
sendMailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getString(R.string.Share_Mail_Text));
sendMailIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendMailIntent, "Email / SMS / Tweet ?"));
}
}
);
works just fine in my latest app if you want to test it : Comis Strips in Brussels
=> Hit [Menu], then [Share], then the button [Send Email / SMS / Tweet]=R.id.btnEnvoyer in my layout file to see the alternatives the user can choose from ...
Hope this helps you a bit ...

that's because you have no Twitter or Facebook app installed on your phone, isn't it ? otherwise by default, the application would suggest these apps (in fact any app that's able to handle the Intent.ACTION_SEND). That's what the Intent.createChooser does : pop up the list of apps able to handle the Intent ... I haven't tested with Facebook honestly but it works great on Twitter.

Maybe you tested on the emulator only (where you don't have the Twitter or Facebook app installed) ? Try it on a real phone, should work !
