Can we delete an SMS in Android before it reaches the inbox?

Question

I am deleting an SMS from the inbox but I want to know: How can I delete it before it reaches the inbox?

Answer 1

If you have a scenario like this and you want to delete or ignore the message related to this contact number "+44xxxxx" etc, then use this code in SMS Broadcast receiver

 if(sender.equalsIgnoreCase("+44xxxxxx")
   this.abortBroadCast();

You also have to set it the high priority.
