Broadcast not recieved when called by an intent

Norman Reedus 2021 17-Nov-2014

I have broadcast which is recieved on system boot as well as by an intent. This broadcast is to set alarm.

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("recievers.BroadCastBootRec");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
getActivity().sendBroadcast(intent);
My Broadcast class :
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    c = context;
    Log.d("HirakDebug", "BroadCast Recieved");
    getDatesFromDatabase();
    getDateDifference();
    setAlarmI();
}

Manifest.xml

<receiver android:name=".recievers.BroadCastBootRec"
        android:label="BootReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

You have to register two actions and to make things clear. android:name is the Class name of the receiver you had written, not the action. So, for the below receiver your receiver class name will be "BroadCastBootRec"

<receiver android:name=".recievers.BroadCastBootRec"
    android:label="BootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.example.BroadCastBootRec" />
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.example.BroadCastBootRec");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
getActivity().sendBroadcast(intent);

The android system will inform your receiver when ever an action BOOT_COMPLETED andcom.example.BroadCastBootRec is triggered

public class BroadCastBootRec extends BroadcastReceiver 

  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
   c = context;
   Log.d("HirakDebug", "BroadCast Recieved");
   getDatesFromDatabase();
   getDateDifference();
   setAlarmI();
}
}
