use check box to select multiple contacts. Store that contacts in array, then on button click use for loop to send sms form first index to last index of the array.

int cntChoice = myList.getCount();
SparseBooleanArray checkedItems = myList.getCheckedItemPositions();
for(int i = 0; i < checkedItemsCount; i++){             
    int position = checkedItems.keyAt(i);
    boolean isChecked = checkedItems.valueAt(i);    
    if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == true){
         checked += myList.getItemAtPosition(i).toString() + "\n";
    }
    selectedNos[i] = checked;
 }

use this selectedNos array to send sms.
