How to programatically increase the priority of IntentFilter

Question

This is how I am setting the priority of my application intent filter highest.After receiving the intent Extras I abort the broadcast, but the native app is still receiving the sms and notification bar is still showing the message content which is most annoying as I dont want it to show message body. Is there something I am missing??

<receiver android:name=".MySmsReceiver" > 
<intent-filter> 
        <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"
            android:priority="999"
             /> 
</intent-filter> 
</receiver>

this is my receiver's onReceive() method

public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {

    Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
    abortBroadcast();
             ....
 }

Try to declare your receiver in this way :

<receiver android:name=".MySmsReceiver">
    <intent-filter android:priority="999">
        <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Instead of :

<receiver android:name=".MySmsReceiver" > 
<intent-filter> 
        <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"
            android:priority="999"
             /> 
</intent-filter> 
</receiver>

Also try to check the following condition before aborting your broadcast :

EDITED :

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    if (intent.getAction().equals(SMS_RECEIVED)) {
        Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
        if(extras != null)
          // doBroadcast();
        else
           abortBroadcast();
    }
}

Hope it helps you.

Thanks.
