Mark fabricated sms as delivered

Question

I'm messing around with creating fake text messages and while this snippet works great for making it look like a message has been sent from the phone, I can't figure out how to mark the created message as delivered.

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("address", "some-address");
values.put("body", "some-text");
getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/sent"), values);

Is this somehow even possible without the message being "truly sent"?

Column names are indicated in this How to use SMS content provider? Where are the docs? question. 'Status' may be what you are looking for.

from http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.3.7_r1/android/provider/Telephony.java I'd say

113         public static final String STATUS = "status";
114 
115         public static final int STATUS_NONE = -1;
116         public static final int STATUS_COMPLETE = 0;
117         public static final int STATUS_PENDING = 32;
118         public static final int STATUS_FAILED = 64;

Set as 0 (complete) should mark it as sent.
