Android Question [SOLVED] android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED not fired

[lemonisdead]

Hello,

I had made an app which does not handle the SMS but must be activated when a SMS is received. I had complaints from people who installed Google's Messenger that the app won't work.

I have installed the Messenger's app and I can only confirm : my service never starts when the SMS is received. The phone where I have tried is running Jelly Bean 4.2.2

Here is what I did put in the Manifest :

AddPermission(android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS)
AddReceiverText(notestart,
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>)

Please do you understand why the simple installation of an app overwrites the broadcast receiver and perhpas, what I could do to be sure my service would start ?

Many thanks

I just have tried adding a permanent running service with a smsinterceptor. This service never receives the SMS_RECEIVED information even with the highest priority...

Google Messenger is probably aborting the intent.

You can try to set the priority value:

AddReceiverText(notestart,
<intent-filter android:priority="2147483647">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>)
