Support For SMS Received Via Google Voice App

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
At present, the app can produce an on-screen notification on XBMC when the 
phone receives an SMS message. This functionality is nothing short of AWESOME. 
However, this only works with standard SMS messages received from the phone's 
carrier. I have my system set up to receive SMS messages exclusively via the 
Google Voice app.

The use-case for this is people (like me) who do not pay for texting and 
instead opt to just use Google Voice, which bypasses the carrier and just uses 
your 3G data connection and the Google infrastructure.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'm not sure yet, but I think that Google Voice exposes the text messages to 
other apps on the system. I'm not super knowledgeable about the Android OS at 
the moment. I would like to help track down what needs to be done to make it 
possible to do this. I THINK there's a Service provided by the Google Voice app 
to allow third party apps to access the SMS messaging. Need to research 
further...

What version of XBMC Remote are you using?
.8.2beta

Which Android device are you using (and which ROM, if custom)?
DroidX, stock firmware

Which XBMC revision are you running and on which platform?
Windows 7, DirectX branch, nightly build from July 21st 2010

Please provide any additional information below.
Everything on my setup works exactly as expected, I have been able to get 
pop-up notifications when calls come in and when "normal" texts come in, just 
not anything which is purely Google Voice.

Put it on 1.1 for now. Maybe I'll have time to look at it sooner and if it's 
easily doable it may get into 1.0.

I was doing a bit more research into it, since I'm 100% new to Android stuff. I 
believe to find out what services an app makes available to other apps, we need 
the Manifest from the app itself, right? I'm planning on getting the APK file 
for the Google Voice app and fooling around with examining its contents to find 
the relevant stuff, just need to know where to look :P

Does GV put the sms into the normal sms database? Can you open them in the 
SMS/MMS app?

Unfortunately, it does not, which probably complicates things.
