Permission Denial , even after adding the correct

I am developing an app which listens to incoming sms. I have added the permission:

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

to my app manifest. And yes, it is not inside the receiver tag.

I am trying to test the app by sending a sms from one emulator to another. My logcat gets the following entry :

WARN/ActivityManager(66): Permission Denial: receiving Intent { act=android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED (has extras) } to com.android.LUC requires android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS due to sender com.android.phone (uid 1001)

The weird part is that when I am testing the app on emulator running android 3.2 it works fine!

App Manifest :

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

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS">
        <activity android:name=".TestSMSReceiveActivity"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

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

    </application>
</manifest>

mysmstestcall is the broadcastreceiver class and TestSMSReceiveActivity is the main activity. The app fails to receive message in emulator running android 2.2. Please help!!

OK the problem is in your manifest. My working SMS broadcast receiver has the following manifest entry:

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

You do not need an android:permission attribute on the receiver. You just need the following permission to receive the broadcast and be able to look at the contents of the message:

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

The thing most often missed is android:exported="true" when declaring the receiver which is required as you are receiving a broadcast that originates from outside your own application. Needless to say, the default for this property is 'false'. Happy SMS Receiving.
