Stop broadcasting of SMS for specific number

Question

I want to stop the SMS for being showed in the notification bar of device for a specific number. I have implemented the code but its not working well. Kindly help

public class SMSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

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

    Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
    SmsMessage[] msgs = null;

    String str = "";

    if (bundle != null) {
        // Retrieve the SMS.

        Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
        msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];

        for (int i = 0; i < msgs.length; i++) {

            msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);

            if (msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress().equals("5556")) {

                //Stop Broadcasting message
                this.abortBroadcast();
            }
        .............

Following is the manifest file

MANIFEST

android:versionCode="1"

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

</manifest>

Answer 1

I guess this line would be wrong

 msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress().equals("5556")

before comparing check what was the number coming??

Try this

msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress().equals("15555215556")

EDIT

If you want to abortBroadcast() then your receivers should have High Priority so that your receiver will listen the callback first when and only the type is Ordered Broadcast

<receiver
    android:name=".receiver.SMSReceiver"
    android:permission="android.permission.BROADCAST_SMS"
    android:enabled="true" >
    <intent-filter android:priority="9999">
        <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Imp Note This will not work from Kitkat because there is option to select the device which app should receive messages
