Error sending text message Android

I am attempting to create a simple app that can send a text message from my android cell phone to another cell phone, but at the moment I am using the emulators. The problem I am getting is that the app keeps getting stopped unexpectedly.

I looked at my logCat and I notice I get this line

12-13 23:36:49.611: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(29001): java.lang.SecurityException: Sending SMS message: User 10131 does not have android.permission.SEND_SMS.

But this confuses me because in my AndroidManifest.xml I have this code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="net.learn2develop.SMSMessaging"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">


    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".SMS"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>


        </activity>

     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"></uses-permission>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"></uses-permission>   

    </application>
</manifest>

I did a single step as well and I crash at this line

sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, sentPI, deliveredPI);

with the arguments as follows

With SENT being

String SENT = "SMS_SENT";

and DELIVERED being

String DELIVERED = "SMS_DELIVERED";

I have no idea what to do now. I have googled and I didn't see anyone else with my problem.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Chris

The <uses-permission ...> tags need to be under the <manifest> tag, not the <application> tag.
