Answer 1

In your intent filter you should set the priority higher than the systems SMS-application.

<intent-filter android:priority="100" ...

And then in your broadcast receiver you call abortBroadcast()

   public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
     //... 
     abortBroadcast();
   }
