ya is it possible.

in mainfest file add following code: 

<receiver android:name="com.example.Sms_BReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
</application>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />

after that create a class use following code 

     public class Sms_BReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
         Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
         SmsMessage[] messageString = null;

        Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
        messageString = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
                    for (i = 0; i < messageString.length; i++) {
          messageString[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
                    }

        Phone_no = messageString[0].getOriginatingAddress();
        Message_body = messageString[0].getMessageBody();
        Time = messageString[0].getTimestampMillis();

        CharSequence text = str;
        Toast.makeText(context, text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }


    if (Phone_no.contains(here check no to filter) {
             here delete message form inbox 
             and save in our own db 

    } else  {

    }


 }

i hope this code will use full for u

  • I don't where this code came from, it's all over the internet. How can this possibly function? Look at this line: messageString[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]); You cannot convert a byte into a byte[]. Also .createFromPdu() takes a byte[] as arg NOT a byte which is what pdus[i] is. – JamisonMan111 Dec 05 '17 at 05:20

You have yo do this in 3 step:

  1. read SMS from Specific number you have to look in to this link then after
  2. you have to create Database for store all info about SMS(like id, body, number, time) for that check this link
  3. you have to Delete SMS from INBOX check this link for delete SMS.

add below permission for do all step:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
