thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for. I can't believe I missed it.
Now in the case where the user doesn't have a 3rd party SMS app installed there isn't a need to set a preferred application in which case I can't get the icon by looking for the preferred app. I've been messing around with getPackageManager.getInstalledActivities() and getInstalledPackages() and even resolveActivity() but I can figure out a way to use the returned values to figure out if the application is an SMS application or to get its icon.
