If you are using any Payment Gateway to hit any url just to send a message, then i used a webview by following it : How can load https url without use of ssl in android webview

and make a webview in your activity with visibility gone. What you need to do : just load that webview.. like this:

 webViewForSms.setWebViewClient(new SSLTolerentWebViewClient());
                webViewForSms.loadUrl(" https://bulksms.com/" +
                        "?username=test&password=test@123&messageType=text&mobile="+
                        mobileEditText.getText().toString()+"&senderId=ATZEHC&message=Your%20OTP%20for%20A2Z%20registration%20is%20124");

Easy.

You will get this: SSLTolerentWebViewClient from this link: How can load https url without use of ssl in android webview
