Question

Answer 1

How can I do it in Android 5.0?

ACTION_VIEW does not take extras. It does take a Uri. If you have read access to the Sms provider, you are welcome to try to find the message in the inbox, then try ACTION_VIEW with the Uri to that message. However, there is no requirement that any Android device have an app with an activity that supports this.
