The true way to send a broadcast from ADB command is :

adb shell am broadcast -a com.whereismywifeserver.intent.TEST --es sms_body "test from adb"

And, -a means ACTION, --es means to send a String extra.

PS. There are other data type you can send by specifying different params like:

[-e|--es ...]

[--esn ...]

[--ez ...]

[--ei ...]

[--el ...]

[--ef ...]

[--eu ...]

[--ecn ]

[--eia [,

(mutiple extras passed as Integer[])

[--eial [,

(mutiple extras passed as List)

[--ela [,

(mutiple extras passed as Long[])

[--elal [,

(mutiple extras passed as List)

[--efa [,

(mutiple extras passed as Float[])

[--efal [,

(mutiple extras passed as List)

[--esa [,

(mutiple extras passed as String[]; to embed a comma into a string,

escape it using "\,")

[--esal [,

(mutiple extras passed as List; to embed a comma into a string,

escape it using "\,")

[-f ]

For example, you can send an int value by:

--ei int_key 0
