Application vetting services could look for android.permission.READ_SMS in an Android application’s manifest. Most applications do not need access to SMS messages, so extra scrutiny could be applied to those that request it.
On Android, the user can manage which applications have permission to access SMS messages through the device settings screen, revoking the permission if necessary.
