To post message from activity use this

    Bundle postParams = new Bundle(); 
    postParams.putString("message", "your message");
    postParams.putString("name", "Facebook SDK 3.0 Test By Arshad");
    postParams.putString("caption", "Build great social apps and get more installs.");
    postParams.putString("description",
                    "The Facebook SDK for Android makes it easier and faster to develop Facebook integrated Android apps.");
    postParams.putString("link", "https://developers.facebook.com/android");
    postParams.putString("picture",
                    "https://raw.github.com/fbsamples/ios-3.x-howtos/master/Images/iossdk_logo.png");

The code for Publishing your Feed using the new Facebook SDK 3.0 is as follows:

// Method for publishing a feed to Facebook
private void publishStory() {
    Session session = Session.getActiveSession();

    Bundle postParams = new Bundle();
    postParams.putString("name", "Facebook SDK 3.0 Test By Arshad");
    postParams.putString("caption", "Build great social apps and get more installs.");
    postParams.putString("description",
                    "The Facebook SDK for Android makes it easier and faster to develop Facebook integrated Android apps.");
    postParams.putString("link", "https://developers.facebook.com/android");
    postParams.putString("picture",
                    "https://raw.github.com/fbsamples/ios-3.x-howtos/master/Images/iossdk_logo.png");

    Request.Callback callback = new Request.Callback() {
        public void onCompleted(Response response) {
            Log.i(TAG, "onCompleted FacebookRequest Done");
            JSONObject graphResponse = response.getGraphObject()
                    .getInnerJSONObject();
            try {
                graphResponse.getString("id");
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                Log.i(TAG, "JSON error " + e.getMessage());
            }
            FacebookRequestError error = response.getError();
            if (error != null) {
                Log.i(TAG, "FacebookRequestError" + error.getErrorMessage());
                Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
                        error.getErrorMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else {
                Log.i(TAG, "FacebookRequest Done");
                Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
                        "Story Published to Your Wall", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    };

    Request request = new Request(session, "me/feed", postParams,
            HttpMethod.POST, callback);

    RequestAsyncTask task = new RequestAsyncTask(request);
    task.execute();
}

You cannot specify a user message to the feed dialog. The "name", "caption", and "description" fields only apply to the "link" that's being shared.

This is by design.
