Intercept incoming SMS samsung - Android -

i'm intercepting sms using following code in java

public class smsreceiver extends broadcastreceiver {       @override      public void onreceive(context context, intent intent) {              bundle extras = intent.getextras();             if (extras == null)                    return;               object[] pdus = (object[]) extras.get("pdus");             (int = 0; < pdus.length; i++) {                    smsmessage smessage = smsmessage.createfrompdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);                    string sender = smessage.getoriginatingaddress();                    string body = smessage.getmessagebody().tostring();                     log.i("tag", body);                    //... whatever message here               }      } } 

with following receiver in manifest.xml

</receiver> <receiver android:name="com.example.test.smsreceiver" >     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.provider.telephony.sms_received" />     </intent-filter> </receiver> 

it's working fine nexus 5, it's not in samsung, knows how make work in samsung

pre-kitkat sms broadcasts intercepted or aborted, hangouts still process message. see post:

suppress / block broadcastreceiver in app

and this:

enabling sms support in hangouts 2.0 breaks broadcastreceiver of sms_received in app

hangouts has registered abortsmsrecevier priority "3" setting receiver priority above "3" should solve problem , intercept it. however, if trying message "first" "999" should that. however, aware not ideal since anti-spam apps, example, may need process message before apps does, depending on app does. (this problem - apps "fighting highest priority" reason android changed kitkat, better or worse...)

this excerpt google talk / babel manifest:

    <receiver android:name="com.google.android.apps.babel.sms.abortsmsreceiver" android:permission="android.permission.broadcast_sms" android:enabled="false">         <intent-filter android:priority="3">             <action android:name="android.provider.telephony.sms_received" />         </intent-filter>     </receiver> 

if trying abort message, have problems. hangouts sms receiver processes message set integer.max_value, receiver aborts message 1 posted.

here other receiver:

    <receiver android:name="com.google.android.apps.babel.sms.smsreceiver" android:permission="android.permission.broadcast_sms" android:enabled="false">         <intent-filter android:priority="2147483647">             <action android:name="android.provider.telephony.sms_received" />         </intent-filter>     </receiver> 

note: priorities on "999" or below "-999" "system level" - however, documentation states non-system apps requesting priority above have "unpredictable" behavior. i've seen - apps not predictably or reliable "beat" other apps above level (depending on device, install order, rebooting, etc.).
