Hi Sachin,
use the switching concept ....you can handle the OTP.!!!!!
1.Before switching to another application i.e(message) you should know the Activity and package name of it.
2.Read the OTP message and store/write the OTP in Excel sheet.
3.Switch to main application with it Activity and package name.
4.Read the the OTP from excel sheet and write into application.

Thanks,
Amit

Try this

As there are two options to read OTP:

1. Start the activity of the messaging app and then read the otp from there.
2. Read the OTP from the notification tray.
   Below the function to read the OTP in Appium:

public static String readOTP()
{
//driver.startActivity(“com.android.mms”, “com.android.mms.ui.ConversationList”);
driver.openNotifications();
String otp = driver.findElementByXPath("//*[contains(@text,‘is’)]").getText().split(“code:” )[0];
return otp;
}
