According to the most recent Google Hangouts Manifest, they have an AbortSmsReceiver set with a priority of "3" - so it seems that any app that wants to receive the SMS_RECEIVED broadcast on API 18 or lower should use a priority higher than 3:

You can use a build target of API 19. Apps on a device running API 19 (KitKat) will not be able to abort the broadcast as in prior API's. This prevents apps from performing a premature abort.

I assume they included this abort to prevent stock messaging apps from posting duplicate notifications. Stock messaging apps should process at priority 0 prior to KitKat - but any application that does not set a priority is processed at 0 also. IntentFilter objects are created with a default priority value of "0":

public IntentFilter() {
        mPriority = 0;
        mActions = new ArrayList();
}
