The default SMS app is responsible for writing all incoming messages to the Provider. Even though you've implemented a Receiver for your app to read the message from the SMS_RECEIVED broadcast, you still need to actually write the message to the Provider. For example:

values.put(Sms.ADDRESS, address);
values.put(Sms.BODY, smsBody);
context.getContentResolver().insert(Sms.CONTENT_URI, values);
