Suppress / Block BroadcastReceiver in another app

Go SMS recently updated with a new feature "Disable other message notification". The feature causes other applications listening to the incoming SMS broadcast to not fire. For example my application, Shady SMS, listens to the incoming SMS broadcast to send notifications and to actually extract and save the SMS message.

When this new feature in Go SMS is enabled, Shady does not send a notification or save the message ultimately not responding at all to the incoming SMS broadcast.

Go SMS must somehow be unregistering my application's broadcast receiver because the incoming SMS broadcast cannot be aborted. My intent filter is set to android:priority="0".

Any thoughts?

I think we did a fix for that and It worked :) We start the Broadcast Receiver via code 

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
    filter.addAction("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED");
    filter.setPriority(2147483647);
    receiver = new SmsAnalizer();
    ac.registerReceiver(receiver, filter);

This worked and we get the job done.
