I could succeed upto an extent, Now I could receive events for any changes happening in gmail account but still i am not clear about how to find only incoming mails.

Note: I got some hacking techniques for getting this done but it will not work starting from froyo release.

currently I am using below code: onChange method will get invoked for any changes happening in gmail.

mContext.getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(Uri.parse("content://gmail-ls/unread"), false, GmailObserver(new Handler() {}));

class GmailObserver extends ContentObserver {

        public GmailObserver(Handler handler) {
            super(handler);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean deliverSelfNotifications() {

            System.out.println("@@@ ContentObserver deliverSelfNotifications");
            return super.deliverSelfNotifications();
        }

        @Override
        public void onChange(boolean selfChange) {

            System.out.println("@@@ ContentObserver onChange");
            super.onChange(selfChange);
        }

    }

The answer is no. 3rd party apps can't access the stock Email applications data.
