I’m a newbie on Android development platform.
Can a third party application (say the one I’m developing) send SMS messages?
I believe we do not have access to default text messaging app. Therefore I plan to develop one on my own, which will read words used and process such texts before delivering to receiver. I would like to know if there are such APIs which allow to send text messages.

I think this is what you are looking for. The second method described in the article does not need any additional permissions, but it requires that the user types the message. I don’t think there is a way to send an SMS without the permission.
