Android Broadcast from Service To Activity

Question

I am trying to send a Broadcast from a service out to an Activity. I can verify the broadcast is sent from within the service, but the Activity doesn\'t pick up anything.

Answer 1

Try this two things:

1. Use manifest file to register receiver(but it barely helps)
2. Try make your Receiver a regular class, not inner one.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if it is specific to the set up, or if it is a fix in general, but moving the register/unregister to the onResume/onPause _respectively_ and not registering in the onCreate solved the problem for me.

Answer 3

Inner class broadcast receiver will not be able to handle broadcast(means it unable to locate that class ). So make it as a separate class

Definitely it will work.
