Answer 1

SmsListenerClass

public class SmsListener extends BroadcastReceiver {

static final String ACTION =
        "android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED";

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    Log.e("RECEIVED", ":-:-" + "SMS_ARRIVED");

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION)) {

        Log.e("RECEIVED", ":-" + "SMS_ARRIVED");

        StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
        Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
        if (bundle != null) {

            Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");

            SmsMessage[] messages = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
            SmsMessage message = null;

            for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {

                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                    String format = bundle.getString("format");
                    messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i], format);
                } else {
                    messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
                }

                message = messages[i];
                buf.append("Received SMS from  ");
                buf.append(message.getDisplayOriginatingAddress());
                buf.append(" - ");
                buf.append(message.getDisplayMessageBody());
            }

            MainActivity inst = MainActivity.instance();
            inst.updateList(message.getDisplayOriginatingAddress(),message.getDisplayMessageBody());

        }

        Log.e("RECEIVED:", ":" + buf.toString());

        Toast.makeText(context, "RECEIVED SMS FROM :" + buf.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    }
}

Activity

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    inst = this;
}

public static MainActivity instance() {
    return inst;
}

public void updateList(final String msg_from, String msg_body) {

    tvMessage.setText(msg_from + " :- " + msg_body);

    sendSMSMessage(msg_from, msg_body);

}

protected void sendSMSMessage(String phoneNo, String message) {

    try {
        SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
        smsManager.sendTextMessage(phoneNo, null, message, null, null);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "SMS sent.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "SMS faild, please try again.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
