Intercept SMS without it showing in notification

[gorelshv]

Hi,
Is there a way to intercept an SMS massage and have the program "consume" it so it won't show in the notification area? I think it may have something to do with priorities but I can't be sure...
Thanks.

It is technically possible. However if the user has installed a custom SMS manager then it will not work.
Using C2DM push messages is the preferred way to send messages to your application.

Thing is, I must use SMS as there is no internet connectivity present. Also, I have full control over the recieving end and I can make sure there is no custom client installed.

I can update the Phone library to support it. However you will need to keep the service alive by calling Service.StartForeground.

It is also possible to add a receiver that will do it without the notification but this will require you two write a custom library.

I don't mind writing a custom library, I've written a few before. How do I implement a reciever? Can you post an example?

Here is an example: Android Service and BroadcastReceiver Tutorial

This would be a very useful additon. (For me of course.)
