Store the sms broadcast within app to send later

I want to block incoming sms using my app. But, when user disable the blocking, I want all the previously blocked messages to go back to Inbox. I am aborting the sms using abortBroadcast() in smsBroadcastReceiver. How to resend these messages to inbox later? Do I have do something like saving the broadcasts and resend them later?

Store all incoming sms in your own database. After the user is unblocked you can recover the sms as Josef Pfleger wrote in one of his answers:

You can use the sms content provider to read and write sms messages:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("address", "123456789");
values.put("body", "foo bar");
getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values);

However, the sms:// content provider is not part of the SDK so I strongly recommend not using code like this in public applications for several reasons.

It seems to be the most populare way however it is not official.
