You don't want to do this... Not all phones will have the stock android app
with that package name. Many manufacturers replace stock android apps with
their own for things like the camera, sms, etc...
Also, there are a lot of 3rd party apps out there that handle sms/mms... If
a user has installed a 3rd party app then they probably don't want to be
tied down to the one that came on the device.

If that is the case then what is most likely happening is that your friend
has more than one sms/mms app on the device. You probably also will notice
that the chooser has a checkbox that, if checked, will make their selection
the default from then on. If they check that box and choose which app they
want to use to send the sms/mms message then the next time you run your app
you will not get a chooser.
This is how standard Android works. Please don't force people out of the
standard.

I have never created an app dealing with sms/mms messages before, but I
don't think this is the way to go... ACTION_VIEW generally means that you
are wanting to display something, not create and/or edit something. Unless
I am misunderstanding what you are trying to accomplish, you should
probably use ACTION_SEND. What does your intent actually look like?
