Java Android - Filter incoming text messages

I am after a way of:

  1. Getting my Android application to receive an alert / prompt when a text message is received.
  2. Getting the latest message from the inbox. From there I want to scan/filter it, but am sure I can work that part out.

Anyone able to suggest where to start on either part? Which alert is triggered upon inbox changing size or new sms message received? And How can I retrieve messages from the inbox? Which permissions will need to be granted?
