Component texting. Start application automatically when receiving sms

[pfcand...@gmail.com]

Hi!! 

It is the first time I use App Inventor, and would like to know if is possible to make an application start when an SMS. From what I've seen, it seems that only you can make a notification appears in the notification bar but I think you can not make the application is started automatically. 

Is it possible to automatically launch an application when an SMS? 

Thank you.

unfortunately that's not possible, however there is this workaround

The link above would be useful for the case where after opening the application, sms information is displayed, but the application would open automatically, right?

No, but you can have a running application that listens to SMS and then you can inspect the received text for certain text and then based on that do certain actions. However, the app will not act as service; meaning that it might be killed by Android.
