In manifest use this Premission

   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />

and

     <receiver android:name="net.app.sms.MessageReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

try this...
