This service is implemented by dialer apps that wishes to handle OMTP or similar visual voicemails. Telephony binds to this service when the cell service is first connected, a visual voicemail SMS has been received, or when a SIM has been removed. Telephony will only bind to the default dialer for such events (See TelecomManager#getDefaultDialerPackage()). The CarrierMessagingService precedes the VisualVoicemailService in the SMS filtering chain and may intercept the visual voicemail SMS before it reaches this service.

To extend this class, The service must be declared in the manifest file with the Manifest.permission.BIND_VISUAL_VOICEMAIL_SERVICE permission and include an intent filter with the SERVICE_INTERFACE action.

Below is an example manifest registration for a VisualVoicemailService.

 <service android:name="your.package.YourVisualVoicemailServiceImplementation"
          android:permission="android.permission.BIND_VISUAL_VOICEMAIL_SERVICE">
      <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="android.telephony.VisualVoicemailService"/>
      </intent-filter>
 </service>
