Answer 1

To broadcast an intent:

Intent intent = new Intent("com.yourcompany.testIntent");
intent.putExtra("value","test");
sendBroadcast(intent);

To receive the same intent use:

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("com.yourcompany.testIntent");
        BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
              String value =  intent.getExtras().getString("value");
            }
        };
registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
