I've never done that, but I suppose you can do a background process that check periodically (not too often though ;) ) the status of unread messages. When the user read the message you show up a notification.
final Uri SMS_INBOX = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, null, "read = 0", null, null);
int unreadMessagesCount = c.getCount();
c.deactivate();

Do you mean, prevent the user from accessing his messages (like if he doesn't provide a password)? – Philippe Apr 05 '12 at 11:15
