broadcastreceiver

My intention is to have saved in Preferences current status of Android device usb/power cable: connected/disconnected. From Developer site I see that there are two Intent for obtaining that status: ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED / DISCONNECTED. So I used same code as published at Developers: http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/battery-monitoring.html in section Monitor Changes in Charging State. Manifest <receiver android:name=".PowerConnectionReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED"/> <action android:name="android.intent

There is the problem with android push notifications (GCM) on android 3.1 : when my app is CLOSED - broadcast receiver which should handle GCM push messages (Intents) is never called. In lower versions of android everything works just fine. Broadcast reciever is always called (even when app is closed). I know that from Android 3.1 there is new concept: when application is not running it is in "stopped" state: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-3.1.html#launchcontrols So if you want to start "stopped" application via Intent - you should add FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES flag to

I'll like to ask if it's possible to check a service is running from Broadcast receiver. I know that it's possible in Activity. Thanks for your precious help yes' it's possible to detect if service is running from anywhere you have available Context object: private boolean isMyServiceRunning(Context context) { ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE); for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) { if (MyService.class.getName().equals(service.service.getClassName())) { return true; } } return false; }

I have written an install receiver to determine when an app has been installed via the Market. However, I also want to pass the INSTALL_REFERRER broadcast onto other receivers such as the Google Analytics AnalyticsReceiver if it is installed within the app. Importantly, I do NOT know if other receivers are installed as my receiver will be used by other developers within their apps. Currently, I receive the broadcast and when complete I call: AnalyticsReceiver receiver = new AnalyticsReceiver(); receiver.onReceive(context, intent); The issue is the AnalyticsReceiver class may not be present. So

Can't register receiver dynamically at boot. I have no activity. And I do not want to register it in the service. Boot Receiver where I register another receiver: package zzz.zzz.zzz; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.IntentFilter; public class AutoStart extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { if ((intent.getAction() != null) && (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"))) { IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent
