Android SMS Message delivery report intent

Question

Android isn't firing the delivery intent when sending a text message. I'm testing this on Android 2.2 on the HTC EVO 4G.

This is the current code. I'm seeing "SMS sent intent received." in the logs, but not "SMS delivered intent received.".

// Constants
String SENT_ACTION = "SMS_SENT_ACTION";
String DELIVERED_ACTION = "SMS_DELIVERED_ACTION";
String CELL_NUMBER = "0000000000";
String MESSAGE = "Hello World!";

// SMS sent pending intent
PendingIntent sentIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
        new Intent(SENT_ACTION), 0);

// SMS delivered pending intent
PendingIntent deliveredIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
        new Intent(DELIVERED_ACTION), 0);

// SMS sent receiver
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d(TAG, "SMS sent intent received.");
    }
}, new IntentFilter(SENT_ACTION));

// SMS delivered receiver
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d(TAG, "SMS delivered intent received.");
    }
}, new IntentFilter(DELIVERED_ACTION));

// Send the SMS message
SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
sms.sendTextMessage(CELL_NUMBER, null, MESSAGE, sentIntent, deliveredIntent);

Answer 1

Call this method where you want to send Sms

private String SimState = "";
private String address = ""; // Recipient Phone Number
private String message = ""; // Message Body

private void sendSms() {
    if (isSimExists()) {
        try {
            String SENT = "SMS_SENT";

            PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(SENT), 0);

            registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
                @Override
                public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
                    int resultCode = getResultCode();
                    switch (resultCode) {
                        case Activity.RESULT_OK:
                            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS sent", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            break;
                        case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_GENERIC_FAILURE:
                            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Generic failure", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            break;
                        case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NO_SERVICE:
                            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No service", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            break;
                        case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NULL_PDU:
                            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Null PDU", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            break;
                        case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_RADIO_OFF:
                            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Radio off", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }, new IntentFilter(SENT));

            SmsManager smsMgr = SmsManager.getDefault();
            smsMgr.sendTextMessage(address, null, message, sentPI, null);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage() + "!\n" + "Failed to send SMS", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, SimState + " " + "Cannot send SMS", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}


// For receiving sms

class SMSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    private static final String ACTION = "android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED";

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent != null && intent.getAction() != null && ACTION.compareToIgnoreCase(intent.getAction()) == 0) {
            // Sms Received Your code here
        }
    }
}

Note: You have to specify android.permission.SEND_SMS and android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS permissions in manifest file and also the receiver

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

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.tekeli.order"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" ></uses-permission>
    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".ActivityOrderActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter >
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".B" ></activity>
         <activity android:name=".C"></activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Answer 2

This is a very late answer. but, it may help someone.

that code which is in question works fine, but, only change required is change the delivery request code. both are not to be the same request codes.

Here it is... and run on a real device to see delivery report.

EditText edNumber = findViewById(R.id.edNumber);
EditText edMessage = findViewById(R.id.edMessage);

String number = edNumber.getText().toString().trim();
String message = edMessage.getText().toString().trim();

// set pendingIntent for sent & delivered

        PendingIntent sentIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 100, new 
Intent(SENT_ACTION), 0);

        PendingIntent deliveryIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 200, new 
Intent(DELIVERY_ACTION), 0);

        registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                Log.d("SMS ", "sent");
            }
        }, new IntentFilter(SENT_ACTION));

        registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                Log.d("SMS ", "delivered");
            }
        }, new IntentFilter(DELIVERY_ACTION));

        SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
        smsManager.sendTextMessage(number, null, message, sentIntent, 
deliveryIntent);
