Good call...
Both
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.package.android.test/
drawable/icon");
and...
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.package.android.test/raw/
icon");
...work fine with Gmail.
But both throw an exception when I choose 'Messaging':
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
