How to receive new incoming message in android?

Question

I have tried and searched a lot and implemented also but i am not getting result. As soon as new SMS message comes, I am trying to display on toast by using Broadcast Receiver. But, not giving result.
I am trying with this code,

BroadcastReceiver class

public class MainActivity extends BroadcastReceiver{
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override

    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Bundle myBundle = intent.getExtras();
        SmsMessage [] messages = null;
        String strMessage = "";
        if (myBundle != null)
        {
            Object [] pdus = (Object[]) myBundle.get("pdus");
            messages = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++)
            {
                messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
                strMessage += "SMS From: " + messages[i].getOriginatingAddress();
                strMessage += " : ";
                strMessage += messages[i].getMessageBody();
                strMessage += "\n";
            }
            Toast.makeText(context, strMessage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
}

manifest.xml

 <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.websoftexmessagetracker"
    android:versionCode="1"

Do you add this code to the manifest?

Note: In your manifest file add the BroadcastReceiver-

<receiver android:name=".listener.SmsListener">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Add this permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />

Update :

Change your code to this :

@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        if(intent.getAction().equals("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED")){
            Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();           //---get the SMS message passed in---
            SmsMessage[] msgs = null;
            String msg_from;
            if (bundle != null){
                //---retrieve the SMS message received---
                try{
                    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]);
                        msg_from = msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress();
                        String msgBody = msgs[i].getMessageBody();
                    }
                }catch(Exception e){
//                            Log.d("Exception caught",e.getMessage());
                }
            }
        }
    }
