Is there are a way to acess the notifications of other applications like
bluetooth notifications should be opened programatically?
For detecting missed calls see: Show Toast on Missed Call in android application
For SMS detection see: Android sms notification
You might also read up in the Android Developer docs on Intents (specifically on their use in broadcasting) and BroadcastReceiver.

I am developing an Android App which receives SMS from a particular number constantly. I want my App to parse the SMS and display to the user accordingly. I wrote a broadcast receiver which intercepts sms and I can read the message sent from a particular number. However I do not want the user to get a push notification when the mobile receives an SMS from the number. Is there any way I can go about it?
From the android developer website, it seems from Android 4.4+ we cannot use abortBroadcast function to avoid broadcasting to the other applications.
Yes there is no way you can block the SMS going to other applications. But We have achieved this by customising the android framework which is proprietary implementation.
I'm studying GCM now and as far as I see it works for running apps, passing a payload to them and letting the app to deal with it by itself.
However, I've seen apps that are received notifications (or maybe it was Android receiving and showing notification related to the app) when not running. For example, device was turned off. I'm just turning the device on, then turning on Wi-Fi and after a second I see new notifications with the app's icon on it and some text related to in-app events.
How could I implement that kind of notifications?
declare the Broadcast Receiver and the GCMIntentService in the mainfest will allow the Application to get any Message (GCM Included of crouse) if the application not running
BroadcastReceiver
Example and Documantion
For being able to receive GCM's push notifications while the app isn't running you should set up an android IntentService, make it run in the background and set the BroadcastReceiver to listen for GCM notifications.
For more information refer to Google's documentation: GCM information

I am making an android program that needs to do something when I receive a message from the Skype app. My Skype will be logged in, and it will be a service or activity waiting for someone to message me, and when it does it will play a song. Does anyone know how, code-wise, I can tell if I have received a message from the Skype app?
If there is no way to do this, how can I have a service scan the notification bar for a notification that contains the text "skype" and react right when it's received?
Thanks for any help.
If skype broadcasts intent upon message reception ( look into decumentation of skype if there is one ) you may just receive it ( via broadcast receiver ) in your application and do something. Incase it does not, there may be still workauround to snoop into status bar:
Detect a new Android notification
for skype notifications
In general "no". There's no way to do that on non-modified system.
You cant intervene other app's events and/or processing directly. It is only possible if Skype itself has provided an open interface (like Service Binding, Broadcast, etc.) to allow third-party integration. But as per my knowledge, I don't think its possible with Skype's own app.
However, if you use Skype's SDK and offer your own implementation of messenger service, then of course you'll be the in-charge.
According to this post in the Skype Developer Forum, the app does not send broadcast events (which would be the usual way to be programmatically notified of incoming messages).
I have a requirement that my app, can receive events (e.g. messages) from server any time (even if app is not running). So do I need to create an infinitely running service to listen for these events?
This to me seems similar to Email apps in Smartphones, like whenever you receive a new email(event in my case), its able to show notifications and also able to update my list adapter whenever I receive an event.
But I dun know how will I implement this?
You should take a look at C2DM (push-messages):
http://code.google.com/intl/sv-SE/android/c2dm/index.html#intro
it allows a server to send messages to devices at any time.
From the link:
Here are the primary characteristics of Android Cloud to Device
Messaging (C2DM):
It allows third-party application servers to send lightweight messages to their Android applications. The messaging service is not
designed for sending a lot of user content via the messages. Rather,
it should be used to tell the application that there is new data on
the server, so that the application can fetch it.
[...]
An application on an Android device doesn’t need to be running to
receive messages. The system will wake up the application via Intent
broadcast when the the message arrives, as long as the application is
set up with the proper broadcast receiver and permissions.
[...]
Events from server are called "push notifications" and are implemented via "Cloud 2 device messaging" (C2DM). On the mobile side these messages are submitted as broadcast events (see BroadcastReceiver). For a complete example see some tutorials: Google, Vogella or here on Stackoverflow
I think you have to start a Service as soon as the device booted. There is a good tutorial here how to achieve this.
How can I discover and read active Android notifications? If there is any way to launch them directly?
If you're referring to the standard Android notifications from the NotificationManager, then No, there is no way to discover and read active notifications. If you have access to the Android source code, you could modify the NotificationManagerService to provide this type of behavior.
If you're only concerned about duplicating notifications, the NotifcationManager has a built in system for preventing duplicate notifications.
As far as "launching them directly", I'm not entirely clear on what you're trying to do. What is it that you're trying to do that you can't accomplish using the functionality outlined here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html?
I don't know what you want to find out. did you mean the notification with other apps? or cloud to device message?(C2DM). If you want catch the messages from google(C2DM) you can catch the messages with broadcastreciever in your application service. check the c2dm or notification service in google docs
