Android : BroadcastReceiver SMS_RECEIVED

Question

I'm trying to use a BroadcastReceiver for the action in the title. I've created 2 class : 1) An Activity that register my BroadcastReceiver. 2) A class that extended BroadcastReceiver and override the onReceive method.

The Manifest does not contain any error apparently, so i decide to post it here, with the two class also.

Thanks for the attention. P.S = I'm not english, so sorry if my questions have any grammar mistakes ;)

public class SMSBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

private static final String TAG = "SMSBroadcastReceiver";

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase("SMS_RECEIVED")){
    Log.d(TAG, "Un messaggio ricevuto");
    Toast.makeText(context, "Un messaggio ricevuto", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
   }
 }



public class SMSyncHome extends Activity {

private SMSBroadcastReceiver SMSreceiver;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    SMSreceiver = new SMSBroadcastReceiver();
    registerReceiver(SMSreceiver, new IntentFilter("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"));
   }

       }


    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.contervis.SMSync"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >

        <activity android:name=".SMSyncHome"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter >
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <receiver android:name=".SMSBroadcastReceiver" android:enabled="true">
            <intent-filter >
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

    </application>

</manifest>

When I receive a message, nothing happens. Nothing in the Log and nothing for the Toast — Contervis, Feb 11 '12 at 11:33
First of all, you can try removing the registerReceiver() line, since you only need to declare you Receiver once, and you already do this in your manifest. I don't know if the two can conflict — Raffaele, Feb 11 '12 at 11:36
I tried what you say, but nothing has changed ;) My device mounted an unofficial ROM of ICS, but without any customization. — Contervis, Feb 11 '12 at 11:40

The action that you match in your BroadcastReceiver should be android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED, not just the last part.

Thanks, I have fixed it, but already nothing happens. I have removed the registerReceiver method from the activity also. – Contervis Feb 11 '12 at 12:01
what if you remove the whole if() block? – Raffaele Feb 11 '12 at 12:17
Done, nothing change...i'll become crazy with this thing – Contervis Feb 11 '12 at 12:22
moreover, I cannot find any link to that Intent in the official doc. Do you have any? – Raffaele Feb 11 '12 at 12:51
