Ask for the RECEIVE_SMS permission and use BroadcastReceiver. To be
first in SMS receiver chain, set android:priority under
<intent-filter>. If you want to swallow a legit sms message for
another component (such as an autheticator in a two factor system),
call abortBroadcast.

Two factor authentication using a cell phone was recently broken:
