I've got this app, in which users update certain variables in an Activity, and this Activity passes the new variables to a IntentService using a BroadcastReceiver. However, the BroadcastReceiver in the IntentService doesn't seem to be receiving the broadcasts. This is the code within the service to create the broadcast receiver protected class UpdateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{ @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){ Log.d("receiver", "Got message: "); //state=3; //Toast.makeText(context, "got it", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }; And here's the code to register

Situation: activity binds to started foreground service. service hands out local binder to activity. activity gets reference to service through a getService() call. activity wants to communicate directly with a thread running in the service using messages. It calls the mService.getThreadHandler() method from the activity. Problem: how do I get a Handler from the current running thread into the active activity, so that I can post messages directly to the threads messagequeue? I don't what to use a messenger within the service, I want to directly communicate with the thread in the service from

I have already red many posts about the subject, some of these works, but only on some devices. For example it works on my Nexus 4, Nexus 5 with cyaogenmod, but not on my Xiaomi Mi2s (jelly beam 4.1.1) I tried setting it sticky, using alarm, and broadcast receiver on destroy. But neither of them worked out. When I kill the application it never wake up again. But on the same device Whatsapp works perfectly, and even if I kill it, it wake up again.. Is there any way to do it without use GCM? Some of the link I already looked up: How to restart a killed service automatically? Service that

In my app, I have a service in which I want to listen for any changes in contacts i.e., when any contact is added or edited in the native contacts app or through any other app. Is there any broadcast intent which I can register to for this purpose? Or is there any other way to achieve this? atomman Found someone with a similar problem, his solution was using RawContacts.

I am planning on having an activity with two check boxes. I want to do some tasks when the screen is off in the background continuously based on what the user check marks. final CheckBox checkBox = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkbox_id); if ( checkBox1.isChecked() && myServiceIsntRunning() ) { startService(myService1.class) if ( checkBox2.isChecked() && myService2IsntRunning() ) { startService(myService2.class) } If both the checkmarks are checked, I wan't both tasks to constantly run in the background forever using this method. Is there any harm in launching both services at once? There

In an effort to keep my services alive, can I have more than one service in foreground? I am starting two services at once, and I don't want any of them to be destroyed. So, after reading for hours, I found the solution is to return START_STICKY and use startForeground(...) on my service. But, I have two services, so can I have them both be in the foreground, and both never be destroyed? Trinimon There are several aspects to consider. First of all: if you have two services in foreground, you have to have two notifications as well. This is considered as a security feature (check for instance
