Sms doesn't save on Kitkat 4.4 <Already set as default messaging app>

Question

My Sms app does not save the sms to the device even though I already set it as the default messaging. I need to support android pre-kitkat so I did a bit researching and had 2 BroadcastReceiver that have the same content but different name. The onReceive() method is working fine, but as soon as I quit the app and enter it the sms disappears. I checked in the stock messaging but there's no sms either. I cant figure out what the issue is

My Androidmanifest:

}

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:

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