How can I send fake sms to myself without mobile network usage?

vegan_vicky

I want to show some information as an sms in my application. But SmsManager and BroadcastReciever can not create sms and notify on phone itself. How can I send a fake sms to myself programmatically? Any ideas, workarounds or any class for research... ? Thanks.
