Shruthi, The default messaging app on the phone isn't the only messaging app you can use: there are many others. So in this case it doesn't make sense to delete the message from the "Messaging inbox" because there could be more than one of those.
However, I believe that, while not documented in the public sdk, there is a contentprovider for sms messages that you can work with: http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/2e049e79f88d95d5?pli=1 Go read about ContentProviders and see if this helps you, and remember that if you use it your app might break (in fact, this was mentioned around the ~1.6 timeframe, so that content provider may be entirely locked down now, and might not let you delete things anymore...). So basically, assuming that everyone uses the default messaging app is a bad idea, if you have to access it you might be able to use that content provider, but know that you're doing is not guaranteed to work.
