SMS_RECEIVE: Blackberry 10 Android Runtime

Question

I tried to repackage my Android App for Blackberry 10. It worked pretty well, but the app is unable to receive SMS.

After the official BB website the Apps should be able to handle SMS: http://developer.blackberry.com/android/apisupport/unsupportedapi_blackberry10_overview.html

This is my AndroidManifest.xml:

<receiver android:name="com.test.SMSReceiver" android:enabled="true">
    <intent-filter android:priority="2147483647">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SMS_RECEIVED"/>
        <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"/>
     </intent-filter>
</receiver>
...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"></uses-permission>

My SMSReceiver.java

public class SMSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent intent) {
       Log.i(TAG, "SMS Received"); /*...*/
    }
}

Does anybody have a clue why this does not work?

According to the BB Support reading or intercepting SMS is not possible using a ported Android application. You have to use GCM ( https://developer.blackberry.com/android/apisupport/creating_push-enabled_android_apps.html )
