@krookedking - related but somewhat different. Here we want to invoke an activity (which ..., sure, yes, ... can be the "payload" of an action - but at least he needs some sort of service in the background in addition to the application/activity) — Andreas Dolk, Apr 06 '11 at 08:20

create receiver like this

     <receiver android:name=".BroadcastServiceReceiver">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.DATA_SMS_RECEIVED" />
        </intent-filter>
     </receiver>

in class do whatever you want

public class BroadcastServiceReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

      public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {   
        // do you want   
      }    
}
