Yea. Go SMS has that option along with a ton more.

To clarify a bit: no, you can't get notifications this way right out of the box with a stock or AOSP-based ROM. But there are apps from the Market that will give you pop-up text notifications. You can use GOSMS as the other posters suggested, but if you don't want to use a different messaging app, there are also apps that will take over the notifications while you continue to use the stock messaging app to read and compose your texts. Search the Market for keywords "SMS notify popup" or similar and you should find what you're looking for.
Along with Go SMS there's also handcent sms which is similar.
If you want exact iphone replica messaging, then try chomp sms. I've been using it from a while and I love it.

[Q] Better way to group message

Does anyone know of a messaging app that lets you text a group of people, and then see their responses all in one thread?
Currently, when I send the same text to a group of people, when they respond, it goes into their individual chat thread history, but I want to see all the responses in one thread...
Thanks!
I think beluga does this iirc, but I'm not sure its still around (got bought by facebook a while back). I could be wrong, as I didn't use it much since most of the people I message won't give up SMS. ...

Sms problem

I tried messaging app with a longer text message and it converts it to MMS. How do I disable this one? Can't seem to find it under messaging settings.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This +1
Can't figure this one out. I think its as soon as the text become over 3 text lengths worth it converts to MMS.
I hope we could find a way in solving this. I'm not really used in abbreviating words that's why my messages would reach more than 3sms.

VoIP SMS/call app???

Looking for a VoIP SMS/CALL app for android that when sending a SMS will hide the phone number but display only a predefined ID name to the recipient! Is there a app like that? Thanx

I don't know if it has all the specifics you require but I've been using GrooveIP for a long time and like it. It will use WiFi or your cellular data connection. Have a look at it in the Play Store.
Edit: I forgot to mention this app uses your Google voice number.
I'm in UK, so no Google voice Unfortunately
