Here’s a screen shot
Setup the Android Manifest with the permission and the Intent Receiver
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.apache.sms">
<uses-permission id="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<application>
<receiver class="SMSApp">
<intent-filter>
<action android:value="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
Code a simple Intent Listener
package org.apache.sms;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentReceiver;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Telephony;
import android.util.Log;
import android.telephony.gsm.SmsMessage;
public class SMSApp extends IntentReceiver {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "SMSApp";
/* package */ static final String ACTION =
"android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED";
public void onReceiveIntent(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION)) {
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
SmsMessage[] messages = Telephony.Sms.Intents.getMessagesFromIntent(intent);
for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {
SmsMessage message = messages[i];
buf.append("Received SMS from ");
buf.append(message.getDisplayOriginatingAddress());
buf.append(" - ");
buf.append(message.getDisplayMessageBody());
}
}
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "[SMSApp] onReceiveIntent: " + buf);
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(
Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nm.notifyWithText(123, buf.toString(),
NotificationManager.LENGTH_LONG, null);
}
}
private void appendData(StringBuilder buf, String key, String value) {
buf.append(", ");
buf.append(key);
buf.append('=');
buf.append(value);
}
}
Running the sample
- Install the APK using “adb install SMSApp.apk” as usual
- Open a telnet session to localhost at port 5554 and type “sms send +5085551212 hello” to simulate an sms message
Download Source and APK from here – SMSApp.zip

Hi,
This is cool. But I thought that the emulator should be listening to any incoming SMSs by default. Its fucntionality that should be provided in the phone.
Anyway, this is a good example.

You can use Toast.maketext() replace Notification manager

Hello,
Use
import android.widget.Toast; // import
Toast.makeText(context, sb.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
instead of NotificationManager.

.i’m using m5-rc15 and have used android.widget.Toast as Rafit says w/o error. But I’m having a problem deploying: when i try “adb install “, 0 bytes install – “110 KB/s (0 bytes in 3520.000s)”. In Eclipse, I’m not sure how to setup the prj so that it builds and runs in the emulator (theres no activity in this prj)..
Thoughts?

the class IntentReceiver does no longer exists in the SDK 1.1 and is renamed to BroadcastReceiver.
hope this helps running this nice example.

DoM:
It appears this package is only available in the Open Source version and not available in 1.1 SDK.
