Remarks

The Phone app sends this intent when a user opts to respond-via-message during an incoming call. By default, the device's default SMS app consumes this message and sends a text message to the caller. A third party app can also provide this functionality by consuming this Intent with a android.app.Service and sending the message using its own messaging system.

The intent contains a URI (available from android.content.Intent#getData) describing the recipient, using either the sms:, smsto:, mms:, or mmsto: URI schema. Each of these URI schema carry the recipient information the same way: the path part of the URI contains the recipient's phone number or a comma-separated set of phone numbers if there are multiple recipients. For example, smsto:2065551234.

The intent may also contain extras for the message text (in android.content.Intent#EXTRA_TEXT) and a message subject (in android.content.Intent#EXTRA_SUBJECT).

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The intent-filter that consumes this Intent needs to be in a android.app.Service that requires the permission android.Manifest.permission#SEND_RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE.</p>

For example, the service that receives this intent can be declared in the manifest file with an intent filter like this:

&lt;!-- Service that delivers SMS messages received from the phone "quick response" -->
            &lt;service android:name=".HeadlessSmsSendService"
                     android:permission="android.permission.SEND_RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE"
                     android:exported="true" >
              &lt;intent-filter>
                &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE" />
                &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                &lt;data android:scheme="sms" />
                &lt;data android:scheme="smsto" />
                &lt;data android:scheme="mms" />
                &lt;data android:scheme="mmsto" />
              &lt;/intent-filter>
            &lt;/service>

Output: nothing.
