How to save SMS to inbox in android?

I have written the below code for sending SMS messages.

SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
smsManager.sendTextMessage(destAddr, null, mMessageText, il, null);

But this is not updating in my Inbox, I need to save the same message in Inbox, Or is there any way to invoke a native SMS application to send SMS ?

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("address", phoneNumber);
values.put("body", multimessage);
values.put("read", 1); //"0" for have not read sms and "1" for have read sms
Uri uri = Telephony.Sms.Sent.CONTENT_URI;
Activity ctx = this.cordova.getActivity();
ctx.getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);

This code will work for all Android versions including above kitkat (19)

public boolean saveSms(String phoneNumber, String message, String readState, String time, String folderName) {
        boolean ret = false;
        try {
            ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
            values.put("address", phoneNumber);
            values.put("body", message);
            values.put("read", readState); //"0" for have not read sms and "1" for have read sms
            values.put("date", time);

            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
                Uri uri = Telephony.Sms.Sent.CONTENT_URI;
                if(folderName.equals("inbox")){
                    uri = Telephony.Sms.Inbox.CONTENT_URI;
                }
                mActivity.getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);
            }
            else {
                mActivity.getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/" + folderName), values);
            }

            ret = true;
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            ret = false;
        }
        return ret;
    }

How to call

   if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        final String myPackageName = getPackageName();
        if (!Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(this).equals(myPackageName)) {

            Intent intent = new Intent(Telephony.Sms.Intents.ACTION_CHANGE_DEFAULT);
            intent.putExtra(Telephony.Sms.Intents.EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME, myPackageName);
            startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
        }else {
            saveSms("111111", "mmmmssssggggg", "0", "", "inbox");
        }
    }else {
        saveSms("111111", "mmmmssssggggg", "0", "", "inbox");
    }

onActivityResult

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (requestCode == 1) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
                final String myPackageName = getPackageName();
                if (Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(mActivity).equals(myPackageName)) {

                    //Write to the default sms app
                    saveSms("111111", "mmmmssssggggg", "0", "", "inbox");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

If you want to manually put some SMS to your inbox with a sender name then,

  ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
  values.put("address", "+923359110795");//sender name
  values.put("body", "this is my text");
  getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values);

also add these in manifest.

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"/>

Now this code will add sms to inbox with a defined sender name, so you can easily handle you problem with this solution,

You can use the sms content provider to read and write sms messages:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("address", "123456789");
values.put("body", "foo bar");
getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/sent"), values);

I don't know why you would want to write a message you send to the inbox but if that is what you want just change the above uri to "content://sms/inbox".

Alternatively you can hand over to a messaging application by starting an activity with an intent similar to the following:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("sms://"));
sendIntent.putExtra("address", "123456789");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "foo bar");
startActivity(sendIntent);

Edit: However, the sms:// content provider is not part of the SDK so I strongly recommend not using code like this in public applications for several reasons.

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "Content of the SMS goes here...");
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(sendIntent);

invoke a native SMS application with content
