My App is not showing in Select Default popup. Please Help.

You need to satisfy all requirements in your manifest, otherwise your app will not be eligible to become default SMS app. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30127564/how-do-i-set-my-app-as-the-default-sms-app — Pawel, Nov 03 '20 at 13:17

I tried the following code and its working fine for android 10 and 11

make sure to implement all requirements as per this : http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2013/10/getting-your-sms-apps-ready-for-kitkat.html

and Put following in your Mainactivity class

public void perm2(){
        Context mContext3 = getApplicationContext();
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
            RoleManager roleManager = null;
            roleManager = mContext3.getSystemService(RoleManager.class);
            Intent roleRequestIntent = roleManager.createRequestRoleIntent(
                    RoleManager.ROLE_SMS);
            startActivityForResult(roleRequestIntent, MESSAGE_CODE);

        } else {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Telephony.Sms.Intents.ACTION_CHANGE_DEFAULT);
            intent.putExtra(Telephony.Sms.Intents.EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME,
                    mContext3.getPackageName());
            startActivityForResult(intent, MESSAGE_CODE);
        }

    }
