I guess you*re talking about the SMS-Inbox. In this case, you would use the SMSManager (Demo).

Attention: The SMS Manager from the "android.telephony*.gsm*.SmsManager" Package is deprecated. Use the SMS Manager from the "android.telephony.SmsManager"-Package.

There is a content provider for accessing SMS messages, but it's not documented in the public SDK. If you use ContentResolver.query() with a Uri of content://sms you should be able to access these messages.

You can find more information on this Google Groups thread or previous questions on stackoverflow.

You can also try this:

public List<String> getSMS(){
     List<String> sms = new ArrayList<String>();
        Uri uriSMSURI = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
        Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMSURI, null, null, null, null);

        while (cur.moveToNext()) {
               String address = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("address"));
               String body = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body"));
              sms.add("Number: " + address + " .Message: " + body);  

          }
        return sms;

    }
