Main difference between Manifest and Programmatic registering of BroadcastReceiver

Question

I am trying to understand the main differences between registering a BroadcastReceiver in the Manifest and registering it programmatically...

My understanding is bas

Answer 1

Your understanding is correct according to mine.

Another relevant (and obscure) difference is that some specific system Intents will only trigger your receiver if it's programmatically registered. Receivers only defined in the manifest won't be called. Examples are: ACTION_SCREEN_ON, ACTION_SCREEN_OFF, ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED, ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG

I'd recommend this text that mentions various details about Intents and Receivers.
