7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the event is a mobile originated short message service control event.
8. A method for use with a mobile communication device, the mobile communication device being configured to provide events, the method comprising:
identifying events provided by the mobile communication device for a primary application to subscribe to;
providing a message from the primary application to the mobile communication device including the identified events;
receiving information, by the primary application, indicative of a plurality of secondary applications that desire notification of received events;
dispatching a message including information indicative of received events to at least one of the plurality of secondary applications;
determining whether a response was received from at least one of the secondary applications in response to the primary application dispatching the message; and
prioritizing the secondary applications such that dispatched messages are provided to each of the secondary applications in sequence according to a priority assigned to each respective secondary application.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein dispatching the message includes dispatching a first message to a first one of the secondary applications, and a second message to a second one of the secondary applications if a response is received from the first one of the secondary applications in response to the first message.
10. The method of claim 8 further comprising analyzing, using a first one of the secondary applications, the dispatched message in order to determine if a predetermined event has occurred.
11. The method of claim 10 further comprising providing a response, using the first one of the secondary applications, to the primary application as a function of whether the predetermined event occurred.
12. The method of 8 wherein the message provided from the primary application to the mobile communication device is provided via a subscriber identity module toolkit framework.
13. The method of claim 8 further comprising receiving a call control event.
14. The method of claim 8 further comprising receiving a mobile originated short message service control event.
15. A non-transitory computer program product comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
identify events provided by the mobile communication device for a primary application to subscribe to;
provide a message from the primary application to the mobile communication device including the identified events;
receive information, by the primary application, indicative of a plurality of secondary applications that desire notification of received events;
dispatching a message including information indicative of received events to at least one of the plurality of secondary applications;
determine whether a response was received from at least one of the secondary applications in response to the primary application relaying a received event; and
prioritize the secondary applications such that dispatched messages are provided to each of the secondary applications in sequence according to a priority assigned to each respective secondary application.
16. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 15 wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, further cause the processor to dispatch a first message a first one of the secondary applications, and dispatch a second message to a second one of the secondary applications if a response is received from the first one of the secondary applications in response to the first message.
17. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 15 wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, further cause the processor to analyze, using a first one of the secondary applications, the dispatched message in order to determine if a predetermined event has occurred.
18. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 17 wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, further cause the processor to provide a response, using the first one of the secondary applications, to the primary application as a function of whether the predetermined event occurred.
