I'm not sure of the best way to do this; but my understanding of the mechanism is that the image is pulled from any given content provider URI, just so long as the data returned can be understood by BitmapFactory.decodeStream().
So a simple solution would be to create a new ContentProvider and pass a corresponding URI to the Intent (instead of "content://content/external/images/..."). You could then send a drawable from your app using this custom content provider in the form of a ByteArrayOutputStream. A second approach would be to copy the drawable image to the external storage, and use the URI format I gave in the example.
