so What is sticky intent?

Answer 1

Intent - is a message passing mechanism between components of Android, except for Content Provider. You can use Intent to start any component.

Sticky Intent - Sticks with Android, for future broadcast listeners. For example if BATTERY_LOW event occurs then that Intent will stick with Android so that any future requests for BATTERY_LOW, will return the Intent.

Pending Intent - If you want some one to perform any Intent operation at future point of time on behalf of you, then we will use Pending Intent.
