SMS_ReceiverActivity is a BroadcastReciever not an Activity! You need to register in the manifest as a broadcast receiver!

i already register SMS_ReceiverActivity in manifest.but still the same..can you explain to me?i am beginner to android.

You registered it as an activity which would be fine but your class extends BroadcastReciever so you need to register it as a BroadcastReciever!
this is how it should be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="pack.coderzheaven"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
		<receiver android:name=".SMS_ReceiverActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"></action>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>

</manifest>
