broadcastreceiver

Android: I am trying to cancel a notification from the notification bar after a package being installed. What I am doing is the following: public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { private static final String TAG = "MyBroadcastReceiver"; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String action = intent.getAction(); if (Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED.equals(action)) { Uri data = intent.getData(); //some code goes here //get the id of the notification to cancel in some way notificationhelper._completeNotificationManager.cancel(id); } } } where public class

I try to get a broadcast receiver working. Should be as simple as possible, I have my manifest like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.mytest.intentRec" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:debuggable="true"> <activity android:name=".mainAct" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> <

I have 2 applications. If I use service, I can set permission so only app1 can send intent to app2 : Define permission in app2 ( protection level: signature ), and use that permission in app1 . Service in app2 is protected by that permission. In this way, only app1 can send an intent to a service on app2 , and no other app (unless my signature is leaked) can send intent to service on app2 . Can I do the same with Broadcast Receiver? app1: sendBroadcast(intent, permission) app2: define permission, use that permission. To my understanding for using sendBroadcast(intent, permission), the

Is it possible to detect when an app is executed (i.e., when the user clicks on the app's icon)? I attempted to register an intent of type Intent.ACTION_MAIN using a category of of type Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER hoping this would let me know whenever an app is launched. The problem is, my broadcast receiver is never getting called. Is this an illegal intent/category combination for which to register? Is there some method I can use to determine when an application launch occurs? Femi The application start Intent is not a broadcast, so there is no way to register a broadcast receiver and receive

I faced to one problem on android 4.0.3 (on 4.1.2 it works fine). I have in my Activity BroadcastReceiver. When I send a broadcast, method onReceive() called always twice. Please give me any suggestions about BroadcastReceiver differences on 4.0 and 4.1 private final GcmBroadcastReceiver gcmReceiver = new GcmBroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { final String action = intent.getAction(); if (action != null && action.equals(MyBroadcastReceiver.ACTION)) { Log.d("tag", intent.getStringExtra("alert")); } } }; }; @Override protected void onPause() {

I want to build an app where I have to use MediaProjectionManager in a Service. But I can not solve it as 'startActivityForResult' can't use in Service class. I really want to do this from a service, which is how I found this question. This is the closest I've came up, so just throwing this out there, till a better answer comes along. Here's a way to do it from an activity that's almost like doing it from a service: import static your.package.YourClass.mediaProjectionManager; public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) { super

Hi, I want to make an Android application that continues to run in background and when user accesses any folder, picture, or any other file it notifies using toasts that he accesses this file(filename). The other people answering your question are focused on the "background" part, and a Service would indeed accomplish this. Users have fairly loudly stated that they despise constantly-running services like the one you are proposing. when user access any folder or picture or any file it notify using tosts that he acess this file(filename). For files that you can access yourself (e.g., those on
