Remove the android:priority attribute

Answer 2

Code seems to me correct. You can try by increasing the priority by max ..

 <intent-filter android:priority="2147483647">

There may be case , when other receiver is getting sms before yours and aborting them.

Answer 3

Your priority might not be good enough, try setting it to 2147483647.

    <receiver android:name=".SMSReceiver_Test" >
        <intent-filter android:priority="2147483647">
            <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

After doing that, try start it in debug mode, and breakpoint in your onReceive method, or make a Log.i("BroadcastSMSReceiver", "Received something in SMSRECEIVERTEST") :)

Edit, set priority to a high number instead of 1, just read that high number equals higher priority.

Answer 4

Based on android developer doc must be -1000>priority<1000 thus highest priority of intent-filter is 999
