Just thought I'd ping this community to see if there's any knowledge on this issue.

On android phones SMS messages registered to applications also get sent to the device's inbox. However to prevent clutter, it'd be nice to be able to remove app specific SMS mesg's from the inbox to reduce the potential overflow of those messages.

Questions on other google groups on getting a definitive answer on a programmatic way to delete SMS messages from the android inbox don't seem to be pressing.

So the scenario:

Android App startup.
register SMS message types X,Y and Z
messages P,Q,X,Y,Z stream in over the course of time, all deposited in inbox
Android app detects receipt of X,Y,Z (presumably as part of the program interrupt event)
process X,Y,Z
Desirement!!! X,Y,Z are deleted from android inbox

Has it been done? Can it be done?
