Close application from broadcast receiver

Question

I\'m new in android programming. I\'ve tried registering broadcast receiver in activity, but my receiver not working when apps onPause. So i found that i need to registering

Answer 1

Use code below to send new intent to MainActivity from BroadcastReceiver:

Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.addFlags (Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
i.putExtra("close_activity",true);
context.startActivity(i);

in MainActivity use OnNewIntent as below:

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    if(intent.getBooleanExtra("close_activity",false)){
        this.finish();

    }
}

FYI, I haven't tried the above code, But I have similar code working.
