Get message flow id or _id from onReceive android

Question

I tried to get the message id that is stored on the phone. But I did not succeed. My existing code is here

@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String address = ""; String message = ""; String msg_id=""; Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if (extras != null) { Object[] smsExtra = (Object[]) extras.get("pdus"); for (int i = 0; i < smsExtra.length; i++) { SmsMessage sms = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) smsExtra[i]); message += sms.getMessageBody(); address = sms.getOriginatingAddress(); } sms = new Sms(msg_id,message, address); UploadSms up = new UploadSms(); up.start(); Toast.makeText(context, "SMS Received>>" + message + "From >>" + address, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } 

Under this, I get the sms body and sender number. But I know that for each message in the Android phone there is a unique number, I extracted it. But it was not possible to receive in methods onReceive. Thanks

You will have to parse the SMS PDU (in raw PDU format), since there is no API at the Android application level to retrieve the user data header. I believe the short message identifier is in the header of user data (octet 1). See Message Parse SMS PDU .

In this message, one user mentions a freeware called "SMSLib" (licensed under the APACHE license) for analyzing and retrieving message parameters. The message identifier can be retrieved using the getMessageId () - Method method in the org.smslib.Message class.

Hope this helps.
