how to fire my own activity when user clicks on the new sms notification

Question

hi guys i am looking for solution to fire my own activity to be lauched to handle incoming sms notification. i am not talking about receving broadcast of incoming sms but i want to launch my own activity when user clicks the new sms notification.Is it possible?

Answer 1

The notification is generated by the default sms application, so it is linked to it, you can't change that.
The only thing you can do is create by yourself a notification through a receiver/intent-filter and link it to the Activity you want to launch.

Answer 2

To elaborate further on what @Lyrkan said, add the following to your manifest,

<receiver class=".SMSReceiver">
   <intent-filter>
      <action android:value="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
  </intent-filter>
</receiver>

and make sure you have the appropriate permission, ie

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>

and the class you need to implement is something like

public class SMSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    @Override 
    public void onReceive(Context context,Intent intent){
    //your code here
    }
}//end of class

Now from the onReceive you can do whatever it is that you want to do with the SMS.
