Receive SMS broadcasts in Android 6.0+

Question

I am attempting to create an SMS app. Currently I am having a problem receiving SMS broadcasts. I have set my app as the default SMS app. When I receive an SMS, I would expect for the log message "received intent" to be printed, but nothing happens. What am I missing?

Below is my BroadcastReceiver.

package com.idioticdev.android.converse;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.Context;

public class ConverseReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        android.util.Log.d ("Converse", "recieved intent");
    }
}

And my manifest.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.idioticdev.android.converse"

Are you handling the permissions correctly for the API level you're running under? Have a look at [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32635704/cant-get-the-permission). — Mike M., Jan 11 '16 at 02:01
@MikeM. Thank you, that was the problem. Post an answer and I'll accept it. — Ava, Jan 11 '16 at 02:10
Actually, if you don't mind, I'll vote it as a duplicate of that post, and you should be able to mark it as helpful to close out your question. Cheers! — Mike M., Jan 11 '16 at 02:12
