sending sms by intent

Question

i have read through all the documentation and the questions posted previously, but i couldn't find myself an answer. by writing the below code, i would like to send an sms whenever i am within the proximity.

Firstly, i would like to check that if the intent only creates the sms and not send it? if it doesn't, is there a way which i can send sms for the proximity alert. secondly, the proximityalert did not fire up due to some reasons, is there something wrong with the code ?

thanks.

Intent smsintent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

smsintent.putExtra("address", "96424127"); 
smsintent.putExtra("sms_body", "child alert");
smsintent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms"); 

PendingIntent pendintent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, smsintent, 0);
lm.addProximityAlert(103.8497215, 1.3630663, 1000, 100000000, pendintent);`

You should use registerReceiver method with PendingIntent class to send sms. Below I post my code to send sms.:-

  private void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String message)
    {        
        String SENT = "SMS_SENT";
        String DELIVERED = "SMS_DELIVERED";

        PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
            new Intent(SENT), 0);

        PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
            new Intent(DELIVERED), 0);

        //---when the SMS has been sent---
        registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
                switch (getResultCode())
                {
                    case Activity.RESULT_OK:
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS sent", 
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    case android.telephony.SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_GENERIC_FAILURE:
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Generic failure", 
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    case android.telephony.SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NO_SERVICE:
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No service", 
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    case android.telephony.SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NULL_PDU:
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Null PDU", 
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    case android.telephony.SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_RADIO_OFF:
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Radio off", 
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                }
            }
        }, new IntentFilter(SENT));

        //---when the SMS has been delivered---
        registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
                switch (getResultCode())
                {
                    case Activity.RESULT_OK:
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS delivered", 
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS not delivered", 
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;                        
                }
            }
        }, new IntentFilter(DELIVERED));        

        android.telephony.SmsManager sms = android.telephony.SmsManager.getDefault();
        sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, sentPI, deliveredPI);        
    }
