This is a good tutorial on both sending and receiving sms messages: http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/sms-messaging-android .

For the incoming messages you can indeed configure a broadcastlistener for detection. *

Detecting outgoing messages is also possible (just altered this post since I dind't know this). from: http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg26420.html

ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
  contentResolver.registerContentObserver(Uri.parse("content://
sms"),true, myObserver);

Beginning with API level 19, the URI is added to the API and you get use `Telephony.Sms.CONTENT_URI` instead of `Uri.parse("content:// sms")`. – Martin Böschen Apr 08 '15 at 13:45

If we register with content://sms than its called even on Message is deleted. How do I specifically detect if its SENT msg only. Also in my device content change for content://sms/sent is not triggered. – Vaibs Sep 19 '17 at 06:33

System broadcasts appropriate messages when messages are sent and received. You will have to create BroadCastReceiver for appropriate Intents(see documentation for details ... I think it is android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED for interception not sure of sending though)
