u want to send sms programmatically or send though message application?
You can send sms programmatically in onActivityResult after choosing contact by code

try {
    SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
    smsManager.sendTextMessage(phone, null, content, null, null);
} catch (Exception e) {
    Toast.makeText(context, "error: "+e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

put code below in onActivityResult

switch (requestCode) {
        case (PICK_CONTACT):
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                Uri uri = data.getData();
                String[] projection = { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};
                Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
                if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                    int numberColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
                    String number = cursor.getString(numberColumnIndex);
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("sms:" + number));
                    intent.putExtra("sms_body", "content");
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
                cursor.close();
            }
            break;
    }

Perhaps you should set your MIME_Type, try it.setType("text/plain");
