[android-developers] Use SMS to notify an Android App

Currently working on an app which needs to detect an incoming SMS. This SMS however is what is known as a "System Message" and is hidden from the user (does not show up in the inbox).
I have this working for BlackBerry as seen here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Use-SMS-to-notify-an-application/ta-p/444965

Basically the requirement on the server end is to change two fields in the SMPP Protocol:
1. Protocol Identifier (TP-PID) to 64 (0x40)
2. Digital Coding Scheme (TP-DCS) to 244 (0xF4)

The above values may be specific to BlackBerry, since the same settings do not work for Android.

Does anyone know how we could write the App to detect this? Or what settings are required on the Server End that sends the SMPP (SMS) message?

Thanks!
