You can fetch all inbox sms using Uri. Use this code for getting all inbox sms:

Uri uriSms = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uriSms, new String[]{"_id", "address", "date", "body"},null,null,null);

    cursor.moveToFirst();
    while  (cursor.moveToNext())
    {
           String address = cursor.getString(1);
           String body = cursor.getString(3);

           System.out.println("Mobile number: "+address);
           System.out.println("Text: "+body);
    }

Also add READ_SMS permission inside the AndroidManifest.xml file:

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

Later show these sms in a ListView.
