How to send a custom broadcast action to receivers in manifest?

Question

MyReceiver.java

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {
            


        

Answer 1

I use Android 8.

Then you have to use an explicit Intent, one that identifies the receiver, such as:

sendBroadcast(new Intent(this, MyReceiver.class).setAction("MyAction"));

See Broacast limitations in Android 8 release docs.
