Answer 1

I extended srinivasa's solution above to get the package name of the default SMS app currently being used on the device:

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        application_name = Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(this);
    }

I found this worked well across Samsung and Nokia devices which both use a different app for SMS out of the box.
