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

The string itself does not matter, just need to be the same in all places and unique, I use fully qualified name of the constant.

The receiver:

package com.mypackage.receivers;

public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public static final String ACTION_CUSTOM = "com.mypackage.receivers.MyBroadcastReceiver.ACTION_CUSTOM";
@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
      if (ACTION_CUSTOM.equals(intent.getAction())) {
            // do custom action
        }
    }
}

To broadcast the intent:

sendBroadcast(new Intent(MyBroadcastReceiver.ACTION_CUSTOM));
