I aim to make an app that would store sms messages with certain words contained in an sms, and stop it from reaching the default messaging app. I realize that I need to place a broadcast receiver for sms messages in my app, but how do I ensure that If a message contains a KEYWORD, the message gets deleted immediately and becomes unaccessible to any other messaging app? I am stuck here, so any help is appreciated. Thank you
Regards,
Farhan
