broadcastreceiver

I have a BroadcastReceiver class. I have some static variables declared whose value is updated in side the onReceive() method. As per my knowledge static variable will keep it's value across the onReceive calls. Is there any possibility when I will loose those values(Like my class will be unloaded resetting the static variables)? These are basically some temporary variables I need to be available for multiple onReceive calls. From the documentation for BroadcastReceiver Lifecycle ... A BroadcastReceiver object is only valid for the duration of the call to onReceive(Context, Intent). Once your

I want to check internet connection in Broadcast Receiver; And set result (A boolean flag) to a global variable, to use it on whole application, in if conditions; That if internet is disconnected, set a status imageview in main activity, to red image, and if connected, set it to green.

I use this

I understand services and such are being clamped down on, so my receiver has stopped working in Android Oreo. I have this code starting the service - Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class); intent.putExtra("Time", locationUpdatesTime); intent.putExtra("Dist", locationUpdatesDistance); startService(intent); I have this in my service - Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction("com.androidandyuk.laptimerbuddy"); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES); intent.putExtra("Lat", thisLat); intent.putExtra("Lon", thisLon); sendBroadcast(intent); But my receiver is never
