Better :) And it all recalls me one of early (very, very early :)
version of PGP manual, containing author's  background recap. He
"invented" couple of crypto approaches which made him damn proud of
himself. Unless he attended real crypto classes and all his
"inventions" were mentioned there. As example of bad approach :)

For the given example, to reach your goal, you would need to "plug"
your middleware between SMS app and SmsManager in  the transparent
way. And you can't do that. So I'd rather do API as close to
SmsManager as possible and, as I wrote, contact devs of SMS
applications to tell them "hey, you can benefit from my super cool
middleware at no hassle. Just one line of change and you are set".
