As far as I know, there is no out-of-the-box solution. You will need to implement it on your own. If you look at the tutorial here: http://adilsoomro.blogspot.in/2012/12/android-listview-with-speech-bubble.html , you will get the full source code for something similar to your iOS counterpart.

In short, you need a ListView with a custom views and 9patch (fancy name for PNG) to make the speech bubbles.

Have a look at http://androidlibs.org/ to find more libraries, if you need.

Update:
https://github.com/tuenti/SmsRadar/ :

Read incoming and outgoing text messages using an Android application across different Android SDK versions it's not trivial. If yo don't want to appear as SMS application and your application has to read incoming and outgoing SMSs this is your library.
