[NOTE: The code that i have mentioned below is not working on the emulator but successfully on my LG P350 having Android V2.3]

I have used the demo code given on mobiForge but have changed the sendTextMessage() to sendDataMessage() with PORT_NO as 8901 (also converted text data to byte[] data). My receiver is:

<receiver android:name=".SMSReceiver"> 
        <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.DATA_SMS_RECEIVED" /> 
            <data android:scheme="sms" /> 
            <data android:port="8901" /> 
        </intent-filter> 
</receiver> 

A working example is KRVarma's SMSDemo which is also functional.

Thanks for the hint!

I use this and it works:

        <receiver android:name=".SMSReceiver">
        <intent-filter android:priority="10">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.DATA_SMS_RECEIVED" />
            <data android:scheme="sms" />
            <data android:port="50009" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
