You need to tell it that you are using SSL:

props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");

In case you miss anything, here is working code:

String  d_email = "address@gmail.com",
            d_uname = "Name",
            d_password = "urpassword",
            d_host = "smtp.gmail.com",
            d_port  = "465",
            m_to = "toAddress@gmail.com",
            m_subject = "Indoors Readable File: " + params[0].getName(),
            m_text = "This message is from Indoor Positioning App. Required file(s) are attached.";
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.user", d_email);
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", d_host);
    props.put("mail.smtp.port", d_port);
    props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.debug", "true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", d_port);
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");

    SMTPAuthenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
    Session session = Session.getInstance(props, auth);
    session.setDebug(true);

    MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    try {
        msg.setSubject(m_subject);
        msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(d_email));
        msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(m_to));

Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtps");
            transport.connect(d_host, Integer.valueOf(d_port), d_uname, d_password);
            transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
            transport.close();

        } catch (AddressException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
        } catch (MessagingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
        }
