 Sms.CONTENT_URI= Uri.parse("content://sms");   
Mms.CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://mms");
private void lockMessage(MessageItem msgItem, boolean locked) {
        Uri uri;
        if ("sms".equals(msgItem.mType)) {
            uri = Sms.CONTENT_URI;
        } else {
            uri = Mms.CONTENT_URI;
        }
        final Uri lockUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(uri, msgItem.mMsgId);

        final ContentValues values = new ContentValues(1);
        values.put("locked", locked ? 1 : 0);

        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                getContentResolver().update(lockUri,
                        values, null, null);
            }
        }).start();
    }

Just reminder, everything above is not include in SDK so carefull in usage.
