Deleting SMS Using BroadCastReceiver - Android

Question

i have broadcast receiver class for receiving sms, but i dont know how to delete the received sms before reaching to the inbox as well as the notification

Answer 1

<receiver android:name=".SMSReceiver"
         android:permission="android.permission.BROADCAST_SMS"> 
        <intent-filter android:priority="999" > 
            <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
        </intent-filter>
</receiver>

and in receiver

  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
     //... 
     abortBroadcast();
   }

This will work fine.

Answer 2

In your intent filter you should set the priority higher than the systems SMS-application.

<intent-filter android:priority="100" ...

And then in your broadcast receiver you call abortBroadcast()

   public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
     //... 
     abortBroadcast();
   }
