After Googling and searching in documentation,All i got that offlinemanager for getting offline messages.

But However it is not working in asmack or may be in smack.It always return 0 message.

Finally by seeing logs i found that each tie when i login i got lot of response from chat server which also contains offline message but with message tag not offline message tag.So I found finally

You can get offline messages from it by directly setting packet listener after just login .As i below described packet listener you have to implement after login method.

        PacketFilter filter = new MessageTypeFilter(Message.Type.chat);
        this.connection.addPacketListener(new PacketListener() {
            public void processPacket(Packet packet) {

                Message message = (Message) packet;
                if (message.getBody() != null) {
                    String fromName = StringUtils.parseBareAddress(message
                            .getFrom());
                    Log.i("XMPPClient", "Got text [" + message.getBody()
                            + "] from [" + fromName + "]");
                    if (fromName.equalsIgnoreCase(matchUserJabberId
                            + "server name")) {


                        // }
                    }
                }
            }
        }, filter);

Hope it will help many to find a work around for offline message early as i invested more time to get it out.
