On top of what Kristopher says: a custom launcher also does not prevent a
user of installing another one or set the default launcher. It's a hackish
to enforce these company policies based on a user space app.
You either need to create your custom firmware, which isn't that bad of an
option because you are developing for a closed, controlled environment. And
/ or your client should negotiate with the mobile phone service provider
and tell them not to accept text messages from these phones.
