How to detect power connected state?

Question

Is there an easy way to be notified when USB or AC power is connected to an Android phone?

Answer 1

In AndroidManifest.xml

In Code

public class PlugInControlReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
   public void onReceive(Context context , Intent intent) {
       String action = intent.getAction();

       if(action.equals(Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED)) {
           // Do something when power connected
       }
       else if(action.equals(Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED)) {
           // Do something when power disconnected
       }
   }
}
