Nice :) FYI - Do notice that if the phone has one of those SMS managers/notifiers installed, you might never receive the SMS notification in your app. Some of those are real bastards and they get the notification of the SMS and don't propagate it to other listeners (the notification is an ordered broadcast). It's a good idea to instruct the users to make sure it works or disable the other apps/change their configuration to allow notifications to propagate.
