count = cursor.getCount();
if (count > 0) {
  cursor.moveToFirst();
    long messageId = cursor.getLong(0);

Seems to be a stupidy of googles implementation, for sms you don't need this. Weird. – Kerem Kusmezer Nov 26 '12 at 13:56

Check you device or emulator's date.. when ever you reset your phone the date sets back to 1970.

you can enable the Automatic(network provided values) in date ant time settings to avoid this issue.
