Use SharedPreferences to store a flag of whether you need to show the message or not.

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
boolean showMsg = prefs.getBoolean("show_msg", true);
if (showMsg) {
    // show the message
    // then save the flag
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
    editor.putBoolean("show_msg", false);
    editor.commit();
}

Put this in onCreate() or similar.

Next time the snippet is run the value will be false so the message will not be shown.

Try inserting Toast objects. See documentation.
