Answer 1

You have it basically correct.

Note that a manifest-registered receiver object is only used once. A new instance of your BroadcastReceiver is created for each broadcast. The primary use of manifest-registered receivers is for broadcasts that may go on while your code is not in memory (e.g., BOOT_COMPLETED, your scheduled alarms via AlarmManager).
