                      mensage = dr.readLine();

                      String check_sms = mensage;

                      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), check_sms,
                              Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();



                //novamen.setText(check_sms + " Mensagens por ler!");





                      switch(check_sms) {
                      case "b":

                  }


                    } catch (Exception e) {
                          // Code to handle exception  

                         }

              url = ("http://mywebsite.php?action=requestuserdata&userid="+iduser);

               String line = "";
               line = rd.readLine();



                   if(line == null){
                       Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Numero nao atribuido.",
                                  Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                       Intent wowmuch = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), pin.class);
                     startActivity(wowmuch);    
                   }else{
                       result.append(line);

                   }

              } catch (Exception e) {

              }

              novamen = (Button) findViewById(R.id.mensagens);
                novamen.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {

                            chamaMensagens();
                            }

                        public void chamaMensagens () {

                            Intent mens = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),mensagens.class);
                            mens.putExtra("userid", iduser);
                            startActivity(mens);}});


              foto = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
              foto.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {

                    Chamafoto();
                }
                public void Chamafoto() {

                    Intent wowmuch = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Foto.class);
                    wowmuch.putExtra("userid", iduser);        
                    startActivity(wowmuch);
                }
            });
              Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), iduser, 
                      Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
              nao = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
                nao.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {

                            chamaConsulta();
                            }
                    }
                );
                }

                        public void chamaConsulta () {

                            Intent wowmuch = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),pin.class);

                            startActivity(wowmuch); 
                        }


}

when i get to this part:

switch(check_sms) {
                          case "b":
                              novamen.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                              break;
                          case "a":
                              novamen.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                              break;
                          default:
                              novamen.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                      }

The button is supost to be invisible/gone when whe variable "check_sms" value is "b".

I tested if the variable is showing and it is in the Toast.

I tried with if statement too and doesn't do nothing.

Of course you can use a swich with Java 7, but in this case (only 2 options), I will use 

if ( "a".equalsIgnoreCase( check_sms ) ){
   ....
} else {
   ....
}

Never use check_sms == "a" for this purpose.

switch(someInteger) will work.
switch(someChar) will work.
switch(someEnum) will work.
switch(someString) will work only in JAVA 1.7.

As far as I know, Java 1.7 isn't yet supported by Android.

You can use string in java 1.7 only as Der Golem specified. You can use enum, char, int types. You can refer http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/switch.html for more info.

From the above link

Unlike if-then and if-then-else statements, the switch statement can have a number of possible execution paths. A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int primitive data types. It also works with enumerated types (discussed in Enum Types), the String class, and a few special classes that wrap certain primitive types: Character, Byte, Short, and Integer (discussed in Numbers and Strings).

switch on String?? go for Enum... and I guess you have compiled src code with jdk1.7.. compile it using jdk1.6... jdk1.7 isn't yet supported..
