Thanks JBQ for clarifying the queries. >From the discussion we can conlude that some built-in applications such as call log, incoming call manager, bluetooth file receiption, sms application cannot be provided by third party as download and install applications. If third party app is downloaded by user then unsolicited broadcast events will result in double notifications, storage etc. Only solution for this is to remove the code for these applications at OEM level and replace it with third party application. These applications cannot appear in android market.
