broadcastreceiver

I am new to Android and have a problem with adding ProximityAlert with a BroadcastReceiver. I know that this topic has been taken up earlier as well but I am trying to add proximity alert to different locations and I am not sure if what I am trying to do is quite achievable this way or I am just doing it wrong.
