You can use startActivity() Method to switch your application to message app. For more info : http://appium.github.io/java-client/io/appium/java_client/android/StartsActivity.html

I just use below code to switch the application:
driver.startActivity(“com.android.dialer”, “com.android.dialer.DialtactsActivity”);

and work on the dialer application then again switch to my app then use same method with proper package and activity.

Hope this help you!!
