android delete message not working

Question

I would like to delete message when message arrives, I have setup broadcast listener, following is code sample:

    Uri uriSMSURI = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox/");
    Cursor cur = c.getContentResolver().query(uriSMSURI, null, null, null, null);

    while (cur.moveToNext()) 
    {


           for(int i = 0 ; i <uptoallmessage_n;i++)
           {


               if(matchednumber)
               {
                   long s = cur.getLong(1);
                   String str = "content://sms/conversations/" + s;
                   Log.e("msg", str);

                   try 
                   {
                       c.getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse(str), null, null);
                   } catch (Exception e) 
                   {
                       e.printStackTrace();
                   }
               }
           }

    }

following permission i have setup

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

Following uri i am getting in logcat

  07-16 18:14:26.069: E/msg(25477): content://sms/conversations/679
  07-16 18:14:26.072: E/msg(25477): content://sms/conversations/679

Code is working fine before Android 4.4, As per google policy only default application can delete message. If you wish to make your apps default then you need to develop complete sms application and can make it default as per google documentations.
