Try this one

Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + smsNumber);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", smsText);  
startActivity(intent);

What you're doing right now is directly send an SMS through the SDK. If you want to offer the user the option to send it through another installed app, you need to use an Intent:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:1234567890");   
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);   
it.putExtra("sms_body", "The SMS text");   
startActivity(it);
