You could intercept the SMS in a BroadcastReceiver, abort the broadcast to prevent any SMS apps from seeing it, then manually insert the SMS into the SMS ContentProvider.

But then that's terrible, fragile, uses non-public APIs and will possibly break third-party SMS applications.

So basically, no you can't do this properly.
