Android Dev: contacts list sorting?

Hey guys, I'd like to pick your brains a bit on a problem that I'm hoping to solve a little more elegantly in my app than the current solution.

At the moment, users must select names from their contact list to send out a notification. Typically this notification will be sent out to a small number of friends at a time. I'm trying to reduce the input and scrolling needed to make this happen.

So I want to filter or sort the contacts in an intelligent way (there's no need to have the pizza delivery numbers or your dentist in the list, for example). One idea that I had was putting the names of the last ~10 people that you'd texted at the top, but I'm having difficulty finding an example of someone else doing this, and I'm wary of the permissions needed too.

I'm also thinking of displaying the contacts as tiles of pictures (with text on top) rather than a list of names, but if someone has hundreds of contacts that would be a LOT of scrolling!

Do you guys have any tips for solutions that you've seen used in the past? Or ideas on how I can improve the current functionality? Is it worth doing at all even?

Thanks for your input!
