i am new with android SMS and I am trying to study it. So i am trying to make an android app that always works on the background, and when I receive sms with the content of "hello"(somebody sending "hello" to my phone by SMS) a music will play.
I searched all over the internet, and I built a project that worked on the AVD, but when I tested it on my phone it didn't work:
import info.kfsoft.android.R.raw;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class SMSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
MediaPlayer ourSong;
//static final int uniqueID=12345;
TextView display;
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
ourSong = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.music2);
Bundle myBundle = intent.getExtras();
SmsMessage [] messages = null;
String strMessage = "";
if (myBundle != null)
{
Object [] pdus = (Object[]) myBundle.get("pdus");
messages = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++)
{
messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
// strMessage += "SMS From the king him self: " + messages[i].getOriginatingAddress();
// strMessage += " : ";
strMessage += messages[i].getMessageBody();
// strMessage += "\n";
}
//max volume
AudioManager am = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
am.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,am.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC),0);
Toast.makeText(context, strMessage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Notification n=new Notification(android.R.drawable.)
// nm.notify(uniqueID,n);
ourSong.start();
}
}
public void a(){
}
}
THX.

Maybe it's your intent priority too low and system-installed SMSApp receives a message before your application. Try adding priority="999"
<receiver android:name="OnAlarmReceiver">
<intent-filter android:priority="999">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Another trick is not register SMS_RECEIVED in a AndroidManifest.xml file but programmatically in an application code. Here is an example where I actually register multiple events to a same broadcastreceiver.
broadcastReceiver = new EventReceiver();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
filter.addAction("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED");
filter.setPriority(IntentFilter.SYSTEM_HIGH_PRIORITY-1);
registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, filter);
