Is it possible to shorten the provided URL in the text message via this service, please?

You now (I do not what version from) need to provide the MIME type, which can be "text/plain", "text/twitter", "application/twitter", "image/jpeg", image/png" according to what you intend to do, and the MIME type is set via a intent.setType().

This is good, but as edouardmercier says you have to set the intent type using the following:

intent.setType("application/twitter");

To see this and some other improvements that can be made see this blog post
