Answer 1

Please check again the name of the receiver and the class name you declared in your manifest receiver.

In in java file the class name is-SmsFilter extends BroadcastReceiver

SmsFilter extends BroadcastReceiver

As you can see the name is SmsFilter but in your manifest file you are declaring it as SMSReceiver

The names are not matching. Edit your manifest to something like this-

<receiver android:name=".receiver.SmsFilter" android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter android:priority="999">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

I hope it would help you..
