broadcastreceiver

First of all I already searched for possible solutions, tried everything and it still didn't work. I must be missing something. I am trying to create an app that receives/reads and writes SMS. the write part is working just fine, my broadcast receiver just doesn't catch broadcast. AndroidManifest.xml <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" /> ... <receiver android:name=".SmsReceiver"

I am working in Android 2.1, and I want to detect when the headset is plugged in/taken out. I'm pretty new to android. I think the way to do it is using a Broadcast receiver. I sublcassed this, and I also put the following in my AndroidManifest.xml. But do you have to register the receiver somehwere else, like in the activity? I'm aware there are lots of threads on this, but I don't really understand what they're talking about. Also, what's the difference between registering in AndroidManifest.xml versus registering dynamically in your activity? <receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=

Im trying to send string from service to my main activity with broadcast. i have read in a few forums that there are 2 ways to use broadcast. one is to register the activity in the manifast and the second way is to do it on the activity, local. i would like to know how can i use the second way. i have tried to do it but unfortunately i did not succeed. please tell me what im doing wrong. Service code public class MyGcmListenerService extends GcmListenerService { private static final String TAG = "MyGcmListenerService"; // [START receive_message] @Override public void onMessageReceived(String
