Check SIM PIN with SDK Android

Question

My app needs to check the pin inserted by a user with the SIM card pin and that Android has to answer me if the pin inserted is correct. I only need to check, never change the code pin.

It is possible?

My idea is to do the request PIN from my app when the phone turns on. My app is a Home app. I want to replace the Android request PIN by the request PIN from my app. – Saval

Answer 1

Not sure if it can be done, but:

I would not rely on a SIM card being present - think of tablets with WiFi only. Also as a user I would not trust any application that would ask for the pin of my SIM card.
