Android Sms Receiver Not Working

SMS Broadcast Receiver not working

Found a solution.

First make another app your default SMS app.

Then: Google Hangout --> Settings (Disable merged conversations) --> SMS (Disable SMS)

SMS BroadcastReceiver stops working after sometime

The issue was the the EMUI, MIUI etc were killing the background tasks. After whitelisting the app, it works fine now.

Finally, made it working in higher versions too, just by adding

android:permission="android.permission.BROADCAST_SMS"

in the receiver tag in AndroidManifest.xml

and made it something like -

        <receiver android:name=".receiver.SmsListener"
            android:permission="android.permission.BROADCAST_SMS"
            >
            <intent-filter android:priority="999">
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
            </intent-filter>

        </receiver>
