I think LIKE can only be used with String 

Toast.makeText(this, getContentResolver().delete(u, "_id = ?", 
                    new String[]{"2"})+"", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

The delete uri is "content://sms/" + id;

Cursor c = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), null, null, null,null);
try {
      while (c.moveToNext()) {
         int id = c.getInt(0);
         getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse("content://sms/" + id), null, null);
      }

    }catch(Exception e){
         Log.e(this.toString(),"Error deleting sms",e);
    }finally {
      c.close();
    }
