Well... In SailfishOS the messaging framework is Telepathy.

So if you really want to do it Sailfish-way, you would want to implement
a Telepathy plugin for your protocol and plug it in as a standard
messaging app backend.

Having a hidden app or an own background daemon is kludgy and the reason
Telepathy was invented as a solution.
