Take a look at this question
Can we delete an SMS in Android before it reaches the inbox?
It shows you how to use a BroadcastReceiver to listen for SMS notifications and cancel them reaching other applications. This will allow your SMS app to display whatever notifications you wish, or don't.

after setting the priority of `IntentFilter`, how can I just disable the `NotificationBar` not to show any message content then hiding it completely. – aneela Dec 18 '12 at 05:40

because I dont want to make other messaging app not to receive the intent so I am not cancelling the broadcast.Is it even possible? because I cannot make other apps not to show sms contents in `notificationbar`... – aneela Dec 18 '12 at 05:48
