How to abort broadcast notification? (for a non Ordered Broadcast)

Question

My application deals with Cell Broadcast messages, which is a non ordered broadcast. I want my application to receive this broadcast and kill the message notification of CB messages.

I've found out that SMS notification can be suppressed by using an intent filter with a priority tag as shown below

<receiver android:name="com.example.sis.xxyyReceiver" >
      <intent-filter android:priority="999">
         <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" >
         </action>
      </intent-filter>
</receiver>

So I've tried to do the same with CB messages like this

<intent-filter android:priority="100">
     <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.CB_RECEIVED" >
     </action>
</intent-filter>

But it didn't work, and the log cat looks as follows

From my research and below comments, I've learned that non Ordered broadcasts cannot be aborted, So all I want to do is to suppress the notification (i.e CB_SMS alert and vibration) generated by CB message.

Can anyone help me with this aborting of non ordered broadcasts notification??

You cannot abort regular broadcasts. Everybody who has registered a BraodcastReceiver for them will get them.
