Steps to enable sending sms:

1- In android-manifest, add sending sms permission as below:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />

2- In yout Activity add this method:

public void sendSms(final String receiverNumber, final String smsBody) {
    SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
    smsManager.sendTextMessage(receiverNumber, null, smsBody, null, null);        
}
