Send Email in Android using the default android app(Builtin Email application)

Question

I want to send email from my application using the default android email app. I have written a code for that as

Intent mailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
mailIntent.setType("plain/text");
mailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { EMAIL });
mailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Invitation");
mailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,MAIL_MESSAGE);
startActivity(mailIntent);

But here it is opening the email application. I want to send the mail instead of starting any activity. Is there any ways to replace the startActivity and initiate the intent action?

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.
