Adding the following lines to my AndroidManifest.xml file inside the <activity> tag solved it. It's suggested in Android Documentation. You can checkout the documentation here https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common#Email.

<intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
        <data android:scheme="mailto" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
