Description
Default SMS app stops seeing itself as the default SMS app in Android 15, was working fine in Android 14 and before
Steps to reproduce the problem
In Android Studio, create 2 Virtual Devices :
Launch the 2 virtual devices and in each Vitual Device, do these steps :
Expected in Android 15
Like in Android 14 (and older !), in Silence > 3-dot menu > Settings, in "SMS and MMS", it is written "Incoming on". In the "SMS and MMS" menu, you can read "Incoming SMS enabled / Tap to change your default SMS app"
Silence knows it is the default SMS app.
Actual in Android 15
Contrary to Android 14 (and older !), in Silence > 3-dot menu > Settings, in "SMS and MMS", it is written "Incoming off". In the "SMS and MMS" menu, if you tap on "Incoming SMS disabled / Tap to make Silence your default SMS app", nothing happen.
Silence doesn't know it is the default SMS app.

Other info
The problem is also reproducible on a real device and discovered after migrating my device from Android 14 to Android 15.
This bug change the Silence SMS app behaviour : it doesn't send notifications because the app think it is not the default SMS app.
