Android notify last received SMS

Question

I'm trying to make an simple application to intercept all SMS received from my telephone operator's e-mail service.

How it works: I have an e-mail from my telephone operator's that notifies me every time that an e-mail comes to the inbox with a SMS. The SMS comes that way:

You have a new e-mail from:email@domain.com See it now through internet! Visit http://m.iclaro.com.br. Subject: SUBJECT GOES HERE

This app that i'm trying to make have to intercept these SMS, retrieve the entire subject ("SUBJECT GOES HERE") and send a fake SMS from a number with only the subject on its contents.

What I've already done: intercept all these SMS from this e-mail service, retrieve the subject and fake a new SMS from a new number (I've choosen 3) just with the subject.

But now I have a problem: this new faked SMS doesn't show any notification.

Here goes the BroadcastReceiver:

public class SmsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
    {
        ...
        public void onReceive( Context context, Intent intent ) 
        {
            ...
            if(address.contains("1") && body.contains(replace))
            {                   
                    body = body.substring(body.lastIndexOf(replace),body.length());
                    body = body.replace(replace, "");
                    address = "3";

                    ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
                    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                    values.put("address", address);
                    values.put("body", body);
                    contentResolver.insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values);
                    this.abortBroadcast();
            }
        }
    }

I had also tried to:

if(address.contains("1") && body.contains(replace))
{
    this.abortBroadcast();

and

contentResolver.insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values);
this.abortBroadcast();

and

this.clearAbortBroadcast();
contentResolver.insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values);
this.abortBroadcast();

Is there anyway to re-notify the last received SMS? Any suggestions?

You will have to encode pdu after editing the received sms message. For that you can use java libraries like smslib etc. for encoding pdu.

public class SmsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
    {
        ...
        public void onReceive( Context context, Intent intent ) 
        {
            ...
            if(address.contains("1") && body.contains(replace))
            {                   
                    body = body.substring(body.lastIndexOf(replace),body.length());
                    body = body.replace(replace, "");
                    address = "3";

                    //ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
                    //ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                    //values.put("address", address);
                    //values.put("body", body);
                    //contentResolver.insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values);
                    this.abortBroadcast();
                    //create new pdu from the edited data
                    byte[] pdu = .......;
                    intent.putSerializableExtra("pdus", pdu);
                    context.sendBroadcast(intent);
            }
        }
    }

Thanks to you, I've found this answer that was just what I needed. http://stackoverflow.com/a/12338541/1575490 — Renato Böhler, Sep 13 '12 at 22:35
