How to receive SMS?

Am trying to receive incoming SMS on android application but i can't get the coming SMS received, bellow is the code am using.
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.telephony.SmsManager;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class IncomingSms extends BroadcastReceiver {
// Get the object of SmsManager
final SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Retrieves a map of extended data from the intent.
final Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
try {
if (bundle != null) {
final Object[] pdusObj = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
for (int i = 0; i < pdusObj.length; i++) {
SmsMessage currentMessage = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdusObj[i]);
String phoneNumber = currentMessage.getDisplayOriginatingAddress();
String senderNum = phoneNumber;
String message = currentMessage.getDisplayMessageBody();
Log.i("SmsReceiver", "senderNum: "+ senderNum + "; message: " + message);
// Show Alert
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_LONG;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context,
"senderNum: "+ senderNum + ", message: " + message, duration);
toast.show();
} // end for loop
} // bundle is null
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("SmsReceiver", "Exception smsReceiver" +e);
}
}
}
in the mainfest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I tried to look for some examples online but none of them seems to work for me, Please point me where am getting things wrong.
I will appreciate your contribution, Thanks

declare your permissions out side of your application tag like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Incoming SMS contents

I wish I could get the contents of an incoming sms but its not working ..
In fact, no toast will appear, and nothing appears in the log, I think the myreceiver is not initialized ...
So here is the manifest, the onCreate the first activity, and my receiver java file : Manifest :

Move your receiver XML in your manifest to within the application tags.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/locate"
android:label="#string/app_nameprincipal"

private static final String TAG = "MyCustomReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, ""+intent, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
and from java code I am sending push like this :
ParseQuery<ParseInstallation> query = ParseInstallation.getQuery();
query.whereEqualTo("device_id", target);
ParsePush push = new ParsePush();
push.setQuery(query);
push.setMessage(message);
push.setExpirationTimeInterval(86400);
push.sendInBackground();
Please tell me where I am wrong for recieving data using reciever and what to do when i recive push means any logic or idea to move further . Thanks in advance

here is the manifiest file.....
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="your package name"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="15"
android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

<action android:name="android.intent.action.USER_PRESENT" />
<action android:name="your package name.UPDATE_STATUS" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
use this code to receive the push...
public class MyCustomReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
String title, from, msg;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String message = extras != null ? extras.getString("com.parse.Data")
: "";
Log.e("message ", " " + message);
JSONObject jObject;
try {
if (message != null && !message.equals("")) {
jObject = new JSONObject(message);
from = jObject.getString("from");
msg = jObject.getString("title");
title = jObject.getString("msg");
GCMMessage gcmMessage = new GCMMessage();
gcmMessage.setMsg_body(msg);
gcmMessage.setMsg_title(title);
gcmMessage.setType(0);
gcmMessage.setDateTime(time);
DatabaseUtil.insertMessage(context, gcmMessage);
}
}
catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
and here is the code to send push...
JSONObject obj;
try {
obj =new JSONObject();
obj.put("alert","oman expert ");
obj.put("action","Your Package name.UPDATE_STATUS");
data.put("from", ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername());
obj.put("msg","hi");
obj.put("title","msg");
ParsePush push = new ParsePush();
ParseQuery query = ParseInstallation.getQuery();
push.setQuery(query);
push.setData(obj);
push.sendInBackground();
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
for any further query please let me know....

In the above code example, you have missed out few things,
Check your AndroidManifest.xml file, and add c2dm permissions,
permission android:name="your package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature"
uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"
uses-permission android:name="your package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
While sending the data, set the action in your data,
JSONObject data = new JSONObject();
try {
data.put("action", "your package.GOT_MESSAGE");
data.put("ya", ya);
data.put("from", ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername());
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
ParsePush parsePush = new ParsePush();
parsePush.setData(data);

MYReceiver.java
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

String str = " SMS From ";

if (i == 0) {

if (sms[i].getMessageBody().equals("Ring")) {

int maxVolume = am.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
am.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
am.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, maxVolume,AudioManager.FLAG_SHOW_UI + AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);
}
}
}
Toast.makeText(context, str, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d("Receiving", str);
}
}
}
Further more caused in log is showing NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION(), but i didn't get there is no code that throws exception.
But it is working fine as well it shows unfortunate message whenever i receive message on other app also.

GCM no receive messages in 2.3.6 but it's ok in 4.1.2

The problem is only with android 2.3.6 .
With 4.x, there isn't any problem, the receiver it's ok.
I have received the registration ID with 2.3.6 but the messages are never received.

} else {

Check the Google play services version number and there is a pretty defined method to check Google play services a availability

Latest release of gcm using google play is very easy to implement and can be used for longer time.
See this tutorial. Hope it might help.
