Answer 1

implement a broad cast reciever for reciving msg in your application

    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // ---get the SMS message passed in---
        Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
        SmsMessage[] msgs = null;
        String msgString = "", senderinfo = "";
        String timeStamp1;

        if (bundle != null) {
            // ---retrieve the SMS message received---
            Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
            msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < msgs.length; i++) {
                msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
                senderinfo += msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress();

                msgString += msgs[i].getMessageBody().toString();

            }
            // ---display the new SMS message---
            Toast.makeText(context, senderinfo, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
if(senderinfo == "Your Specific phone Numbers"){
SharedPreferences settingsActivity = getSharedPreferences("Message", Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreferences.Editor prefEditor = settingsActivity.edit();
prefEditor.putString(Messages, msg);

        prefEditor.commit();
abortBroadcast();
}

And the retrieve the data in the application

SharedPreferences settingsActivity = getSharedPreferences("Message", Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
settingsActivity.getString("Messages",msg);

After getting the messages clear the shared preference so that new msg can be stored

SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settingsActivity.edit();
                editor.remove("Messages");
                editor.clear();
                editor.commit();
