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?
