Question

Start application on receiving sms from particular number.

Answer 1

+4 A:

You'll need to register a broadcast receiver for android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED. The receiver can then check the number of the SMS and start your activity as appropriate.

So, you'll need to:

Add a uses-permission for android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS to your manifest

Declare a broadcast receiver in your <application/> element in the manfiest:

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

Create the receiver class, extending IntentReceiver.
In onReceiveIntent, you can get the relevant messages by calling Telephony.Sms.Intents.getMessagesFromIntent() and passing in the intent you're supplied.
If the number matches the one you want, you can then start an activity by calling startActivity

You can use `SmsMessage.createFromPdu`. An array of PDUs is available from the Bundle which you can get from the intent - `byte[][] pdus = (byte[][]) intent.getExtras().get("pdus");` or so
