Android SMS API

I know that the SMS content provider is not part of the public API (at least not documented), but if I understand correctly, you can still use many SMS functions if you know how to use the API (?).

For example, it’s quite simple to insert an SMS message into your inbox:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put("address", "+457014921911"); contentResolver.insert(Uri.parse("content://sms"), values);

Unfortunately, this does not cause the standard notification "new-SMS-in-your-inbox". Is it possible to run this manually?

Edit : AFAIK "standard mail application (Messaging)" on Android listens for incoming SMS messages using the permission android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS. And then, when a new SMS message arrives, a status line notification is inserted with a “special” notification identifier. Therefore, one of the solutions to my problem (outlined above) could be to search and send the correct intent to broadcast; something like "NEW CASE ARRIVED" -intent.

Change A third-party messaging app ( chompsms ) was downloaded from the Android market. This app meets my needs better. When I execute the code above, chompsms notices new sms and shows "standard status line notification". So I would say that the standard Android Messaging app does not detect sms correctly? Or am I wrong?

Unfortunately, the code responsible for these notifications is hidden in the messaging app . The MessagingNotification class has a static updateAllNotifications method, which you could call using PathClassLoader and reflection:

 PathClassLoader c = new PathClassLoader("/system/app/Mms.apk", getClassLoader()); Class.forName("com.android.mms.util.ContactInfoCache", true, c) .getMethod("init", Context.class).invoke(null, context); Class.forName("com.android.mms.transaction.MessagingNotification", true, c) .getMethod("updateAllNotifications", Context.class).invoke(null, context);

This is obviously a very bad idea for several reasons, but I can't think of another way to do what you described.

Can you call a PUSH notification after SMS?

Maybe you should replace

 content://sms

from

 content://sms/inbox
