How can I get the default sms app package name?

By default sms app added in 4.4, I can't open default sms app like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(intent);

So how can I get the sms default app package name so I can open it directly from my app?

    PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
    Intent intent = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(defaultApplication );

    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
    intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
    startActivity(intent);

The accepted answer didn't work for me (and seems pretty unreliable).

Best way to get package name



Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(context);

This requires API 19+

This is how you do it:

@Nullable
public static String getDefaultSmsAppPackageName(@NonNull Context context) {
    if (VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
        return Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(context);
    else {
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
                .addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT).setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
        final List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
        if (resolveInfos != null && !resolveInfos.isEmpty())
            return resolveInfos.get(0).activityInfo.packageName;
        return null;
    }
}
