Here is what I have working for me at the moment. The code that I'm providing is used to block incoming text messages, but you can easily modify it to only include the area where it only alerts you of incoming messages and doesn't process them any further.

SmsReceiver.java

package com.android.SMS;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class SmsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

public static int MSG_TPE=0;
private String getAddress;
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { 
    String MSG_TYPE=intent.getAction();
        if(MSG_TYPE.equals("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED")) {
            Toast received = Toast.makeText(context,"SMS Received: "+MSG_TYPE , Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
            received.show();

                Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
                Object messages[] = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
                SmsMessage smsMessage[] = new SmsMessage[messages.length];
                for (int n = 0; n < messages.length; n++) {
                    smsMessage[n] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) messages[n]);
                }

                    getAddress = smsMessage[0].getOriginatingAddress();
                    // Filter incoming messages
                    if(getAddress.equals("APPROVEDPHONENUMBER")) {
                        Toast approved = Toast.makeText(context,"Approved SMS from: " + smsMessage[0].getOriginatingAddress(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                        approved.show();
                            // Message is approved and let through
                    } else {
                        Toast blocked = Toast.makeText(context,"Blocked SMS from: " + smsMessage[0].getOriginatingAddress(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                        blocked.show();
                            // Message is blocked
                            abortBroadcast();
                    }
                    // End filter
                        for(int i=0;i<8;i++) {
                            System.out.println("Blocking SMS");
                        }

        }

}

}

This is the code that detects an incoming message

if(MSG_TYPE.equals("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED")) {
        Toast received = Toast.makeText(context,"SMS Received: "+MSG_TYPE , Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
        received.show();
}

AndroidManifest.xml

APPLICATION BLOCK:

It's important to place the service and receiver blocks inside of your main "application" block as shown in the code above.
