There is no documented and supported API in the Android SDK for accessing any sort of "inbox".

You should implement broadcast rceiver on "android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" Action.

After that read message data from intent:

Object[] pduArray = (Object[]) intent.getExtras().get("pdus"); 

SmsMessage[] messages = new SmsMessage[pduArray.length]; 

StringBuilder messageText = new StringBuilder();

for (int i = 0; i < pduArray.length; i++) {                 
     messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[])pduArray [i]);              
     messageText.append(messages[i].getMessageBody());          
}
