<activityandroid:name="az.elman.grouptextfree.NewMessageActivity"android:label="@string/app_name" ><intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /><categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /><dataandroid:mimeType="vnd.android-dir/mms-sms" /></intent-filter><intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /><actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" /><categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /><categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /><dataandroid:scheme="sms" /><dataandroid:scheme="smsto" /></intent-filter><intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.SEND" /><categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /><dataandroid:mimeType="text/plain" /></intent-filter></activity>

Also do not forget to add this permission <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/> to your Manifest file as Jbad26 wrote.

Android has brought-in the concept of 'Default SMS app' on KitKat. That is, the user can set an app, which is going to handle the sending / receiving of SMS, through Settings. So, if you want your app to be listed under default SMS apps category, your app needs to handle sending / receiving of SMS, MMS etc.. Please refer the link below for more information
