Answer 1

Look at the method signature for onReceive()

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

You are being passed a context as a parameter. You should be using that context when you need one.

Pol_ViewActivity appState = ((Pol_ViewActivity)context); 

EDIT: also I don't know exactly what it is you are trying to do. But you probably shouldn't be trying to obtain an Activity object and call a method on it like you seem to be doing.
