Answer 1

You can't directly call a function in your Activity unless it's a public static method but don't do so. I recommend this:

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putExtraString("ACTION", "stopBroadcast");

    // ### put what ever you need into the bundle here ###

    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setClassName(context, "activity.class");
    intent.putExtras(bundle);

    context.startActivity(intent);
}

And then from your Activity's onCreate() get Bundle and take your actions as needed.
