HB Blog 65: Broadcast Receiver For Booting Process, Call Reciever And Sms Reciever In Android.

A BroadcastReceiver is nothing but a event capture mechanism. It can be system specific or custom intents as well. The system specific events such as event while booting, call receiving, sms receiving, battery status, etc. Programmatically, we add receiver tag in manifest with action specified for the events that is to be captured such as,

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />

 We need to provide required permissions as well. Then, we receive the call to BroadcastReceiver life cycle method onReceive (Context context, Intent intent) from the class which extends BroadcastReceiver and is provided as receiver name to the receiver action in receiver tag.
