Answer 1

BroadcastReceiver : 'Gateway' with which your app tells to Android OS that, your app is interested in receiving information.

Intent-Filter : Works with BroadcastReceiver and tells the 'What' information it is interested to receive in. For example, your app wants to receive information on Battery level.
