 val intent = Intent(Telephony.Sms.Intents.ACTION_CHANGE_DEFAULT)
                            intent.putExtra(Telephony.Sms.Intents.EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME, packageName)
                            startActivity(intent)

After reading documentation carefully , I got they have updated direct intent with RoleManager ,

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
    val roleManager = getSystemService(RoleManager::class.java)
    val roleRequestIntent = roleManager.createRequestRoleIntent(RoleManager.ROLE_SMS)
    startActivityForResult(roleRequestIntent, 12)
} else {
    val intent = Intent(Telephony.Sms.Intents.ACTION_CHANGE_DEFAULT)
    intent.putExtra(Telephony.Sms.Intents.EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME, packageName)
    startActivity(intent)
}

This is new way updating all required access for reference :- https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/role/RoleManager
