I'm using abortBroadcast() to block incomming message, when my device not installed Message app from Play Store, abortBroadcast() run is true, but after my device installed, abortBroadcast() not block incomming message.

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_MMS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RAISED_THREAD_PRIORITY"/>
<application
...

<receiver
            android:name=".blocksms.SmsReceiver"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true"
            android:permission="android.permission.BROADCAST_SMS">
            <intent-filter android:priority="1000">
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_DELIVER" />

Hello. On android 4.4 and higher you must to ask the user to make your app be the default SMS client, via an ACTION_CHANGE_DEFAULT Intent. You cannot force your app to be the default SMS client through the Android SDK, outside of some security flaw.
