My Broadcast receiver is not working on oreo but its working below oreo it's working fine, I searched a lot regarding this but could not find the suitable solution. Does anyone face the same problem, here is my code regarding my service in which broadcast has been implemented. Kindly suggests me that how I can make in working in oreo.
Here is the class
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
mContext = this;
mAppPreferences = new AppPreferences(mContext);
if (intent.getExtras() != null) {
data = (String) intent.getExtras().get("showPopUp");
phoneNumber= (String) intent.getExtras().get("dialNumber");
}
final IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
if (data.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
showPopup(getApplicationContext());
Utils.ApiHit(phoneNumber,getApplicationContext());
}
intentFilter.setPriority(2147483647);
intentFilter.addAction("android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE");
callExplicitReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(TelephonyManager.ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED)) {
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL")) {
savedNumber = intent.getExtras().getString("android.intent.extra.PHONE_NUMBER");
} else {
String stateStr = intent.getExtras().getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
phoneNumber = intent.getExtras().getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
int state = 0;
if (stateStr.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE)) {

}
onCallStateChanged(context, state, phoneNumber);
}
}
}
};
mContext.registerReceiver(callExplicitReceiver, intentFilter);

Noting is in coming inside receiever,Can anyone help me out in this?
New Additions as per discussion
Manifest data :-
Permission used :-
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
Reciver:-
<receiver android:name="com.example.dialer.AppUtils.StartUpBootReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
My BroadCast Reciever Class :-
public class StartUpBootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private Context mContext;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
mContext= context;
String action = "START";
if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
{
context.startForegroundService(new Intent(context, PhoneStateService.class));
}
else
{
context.startService(new Intent(context, PhoneStateService.class));
}
}
}
private boolean isServiceRunning(Class<?> serviceClass) {
ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
for (ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {
if (serviceClass.getName().equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
Rest the same service will get the call, but the problem is i still does not get call in receiver.And m primary point is that service should only get called once user tap on button , not automatically as i have to pass some values in the service.
Thanks
Broadcast Limitations
If an app registers to receive broadcasts, the app's receiver consumes resources every time the broadcast is sent. This can cause problems if too many apps register to receive broadcasts based on system events; a system event that triggers a broadcast can cause all of those apps to consume resources in rapid succession, impairing the user experience. To mitigate this problem, Android 7.0 (API level 25) placed limitations on broadcasts, as described in Background Optimization. Android 8.0 (API level 26) makes these limitations more stringent.
Apps that target Android 8.0 or higher can no longer register broadcast receivers for implicit broadcasts in their manifest. An implicit broadcast is a broadcast that does not target that app specifically. For example, ACTION_PACKAGE_REPLACED is an implicit broadcast, since it is sent to all registered listeners, letting them know that some package on the device was replaced. However, ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED is not an implicit broadcast, since it is sent only to the app whose package was replaced, no matter how many other apps have registered listeners for that broadcast.
Apps can continue to register for explicit broadcasts in their manifests.
Apps can use Context.registerReceiver() at runtime to register a receiver for any broadcast, whether implicit or explicit.
Broadcasts that require a signature permission are exempted from this restriction, since these broadcasts are only sent to apps that are signed with the same certificate, not to all the apps on the device.
From the Official Documentation
The problem comes with the service you're trying to run, services or persistent background services are not permitted to run for long for apps targeting Oreo and above.
Check this guide and this as well for migrating your app to support Oreo.
I also had this kind of issue, but I found a better solution:
Class MyReceiver
#BroadcastReceiverActions({
"android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON",
"android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF",
"android.intent.action.DREAMING_STARTED",
"android.intent.action.DREAMING_STOPPED",
"android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED",
"android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED",
"android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE"
})
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public MyReceiver() {
super();
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Session.getGlobalReceiverCallBack(context, intent);
//Log.e("dfd", "" + intent.getAction());
}
}
Class AppController
public class AppController extends Application {
private BroadcastReceiver receiver;
MyReceiver mR;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mR = new MyReceiver();
receiver = DynamicReceiver.with(mR)
.register(this);
}
}
Class MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements GlobalReceiverCallBack {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Session.setmGlobalReceiverCallback(this);
}
#Override
public void onCallBackReceived(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "" + intent.getAction(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
For complete reference you can see also https://github.com/devggaurav/BroadcastReceiver-For-Naught-and-Oreo-devices
Register your broadcast receiver in activity on create method rather than in manifest and unregister it on destroy method. Hope this will work on android 9.
Android 8.0 offers several improvements to JobScheduler that make it easier to replace services and broadcast receivers with scheduled jobs:
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background
In many cases, apps that previously registered for an implicit broadcast can get similar functionality by using a JobScheduler job. For example, a social photo app might need to perform cleanup on its data from time to time, and prefer to do this when the device is connected to a charger. Previously, the app registered a receiver for ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED in its manifest; when the app received that broadcast, it would check whether cleanup was necessary. To migrate to Android 8.0 or higher, the app removes that receiver from its manifest. Instead, the app schedules a cleanup job that runs when the device is idle and charging.
I have faced the similar issue when implementing call recording app,
I have added the following code in the AndroidManifest.xml file, then the register is working normally
<receiver android:name=".Services.Receiver"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ANSWER"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_BUTTON"/>
<action android:name= "android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
I need to check if my registered receiver is still registered if not how do i check it any methods?
There is no API function to check if a receiver is registered. The workaround is to put your code in a try catch block as done below.
try {
//Register or UnRegister your broadcast receiver here
} catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I am not sure the API provides directly an API, if you consider this thread:
I was wondering the same thing.
In my case I have a BroadcastReceiver implementation that calls
Context#unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver) passing itself as the argument after handling the Intent that it receives.
There is a small chance that the receiver's onReceive(Context, Intent) method is called
more than once, since it is registered with multiple IntentFilters, creating the potential for an IllegalArgumentException being thrown from Context#unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver).
In my case, I can store a private synchronized member to check before calling Context#unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver), but it would be
much cleaner if the API provided a check method.
simplest solution
in receiver:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public boolean isRegistered;
/**
* register receiver
* #param context - Context
* #param filter - Intent Filter
* #return see Context.registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver,IntentFilter)
*/
public Intent register(Context context, IntentFilter filter) {
try {
// ceph3us note:
// here I propose to create
// a isRegistered(Contex) method
// as you can register receiver on different context
// so you need to match against the same one :)
// example by storing a list of weak references
// see LoadedApk.class - receiver dispatcher
// its and ArrayMap there for example
return !isRegistered
? context.registerReceiver(this, filter)
: null;
} finally {
isRegistered = true;
}
}
/**
* unregister received
* #param context - context
* #return true if was registered else false
*/
public boolean unregister(Context context) {
// additional work match on context before unregister
// eg store weak ref in register then compare in unregister
// if match same instance
return isRegistered
&& unregisterInternal(context);
}
private boolean unregisterInternal(Context context) {
context.unregisterReceiver(this);
isRegistered = false;
return true;
}
// rest implementation here
// or make this an abstract class as template :)
...
}
in code:
MyReceiver myReceiver = new MyReceiver();
myReceiver.register(Context, IntentFilter); // register
myReceiver.unregister(Context); // unregister

-- in reply to:
This really isn't that elegant because you have to remember to set the
isRegistered flag after you register. – Stealth Rabbi
-- "more ellegant way" added method in receiver to register and set flag
this won't work If you restart the device or if your app got killed by
OS. – amin 6 hours ago
#amin - see lifetime of in code (not system registered by manifest entry) registered receiver :)
I am using this solution
public class ReceiverManager {
private WeakReference<Context> cReference;
private static List<BroadcastReceiver> receivers = new ArrayList<BroadcastReceiver>();
private static ReceiverManager ref;
private ReceiverManager(Context context) {
cReference = new WeakReference<>(context);
}
public static synchronized ReceiverManager init(Context context) {
if (ref == null) ref = new ReceiverManager(context);
return ref;
}
public Intent registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter intentFilter) {
receivers.add(receiver);
Intent intent = cReference.get().registerReceiver(receiver, intentFilter);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "registered receiver: " + receiver + " with filter: " + intentFilter);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "receiver Intent: " + intent);
return intent;
}
public boolean isReceiverRegistered(BroadcastReceiver receiver) {
boolean registered = receivers.contains(receiver);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "is receiver " + receiver + " registered? " + registered);
return registered;
}
public void unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver) {
if (isReceiverRegistered(receiver)) {
receivers.remove(receiver);
cReference.get().unregisterReceiver(receiver);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "unregistered receiver: " + receiver);
}
}
}
You have several options
You can put a flag into your class or activity. Put a boolean variable into your class and look at this flag to know if you have the Receiver registered.
Create a class that extends the Receiver and there you can use:
Singleton pattern for only have one instance of this class in your project.
Implement the methods for know if the Receiver is register.
You have to use try/catch:
try {
if (receiver!=null) {
Activity.this.unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
You can do it easy....
1) create a boolean variable ...
private boolean bolBroacastRegistred;
2) When you register your Broadcast Receiver, set it to TRUE
...
bolBroacastRegistred = true;
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND));
....
3) In the onPause() do it...
if (bolBroacastRegistred) {
this.unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
bolBroacastRegistred = false
}
Just it, and now, you will not receive more exception error message on onPause().
Tip1: Always use the unregisterReceiver() in onPause() not in onDestroy()
Tip2: Dont forget to set the bolBroadcastRegistred variable to FALSE when run the unregisterReceive()
Success!
If you put this on onDestroy or onStop method. I think that when the activity has been created again the MessageReciver wasn't being created.
#Override
public void onDestroy (){
super.onDestroy();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context).unregisterReceiver(mMessageReceiver);
}
Personally I use the method of calling unregisterReceiver and swallowing the exception if it's thrown. I agree this is ugly but the best method currently provided.
I've raised a feature request to get a boolean method to check if a receiver is registered added to the Android API. Please support it here if you want to see it added:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=73718
I used Intent to let Broadcast Receiver know about Handler instance of main Activity thread and used Message to pass a message to Main activity
I have used such mechanism to check if Broadcast Receiver is already registered or not. Sometimes it is needed when you register your Broadcast Receiver dynamically and do not want to make it twice or you present to the user if Broadcast Receiver is running.
Main activity:
public class Example extends Activity {
private BroadCastReceiver_example br_exemple;
final Messenger mMessenger = new Messenger(new IncomingHandler());
private boolean running = false;
static class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
running = false;
switch (msg.what) {
case BroadCastReceiver_example.ALIVE:
running = true;
....
break;
default:
super.handleMessage(msg);
}
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("pl.example.CHECK_RECEIVER");
br_exemple = new BroadCastReceiver_example();
getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(br_exemple , filter); //register the Receiver
}
// call it whenever you want to check if Broadcast Receiver is running.
private void check_broadcastRunning() {
/**
* checkBroadcastHandler - the handler will start runnable which will check if Broadcast Receiver is running
*/
Handler checkBroadcastHandler = null;
/**
* checkBroadcastRunnable - the runnable which will check if Broadcast Receiver is running
*/
Runnable checkBroadcastRunnable = null;
Intent checkBroadCastState = new Intent();
checkBroadCastState .setAction("pl.example.CHECK_RECEIVER");
checkBroadCastState .putExtra("mainView", mMessenger);
this.sendBroadcast(checkBroadCastState );
Log.d(TAG,"check if broadcast is running");
checkBroadcastHandler = new Handler();
checkBroadcastRunnable = new Runnable(){
public void run(){
if (running == true) {
Log.d(TAG,"broadcast is running");
}
else {
Log.d(TAG,"broadcast is not running");
}
}
};
checkBroadcastHandler.postDelayed(checkBroadcastRunnable,100);
return;
}
.............
}
Broadcast Receiver:
public class BroadCastReceiver_example extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final int ALIVE = 1;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String action = intent.getAction();
if (action.equals("pl.example.CHECK_RECEIVER")) {
Log.d(TAG, "Received broadcast live checker");
Messenger mainAppMessanger = (Messenger) extras.get("mainView");
try {
mainAppMessanger.send(Message.obtain(null, ALIVE));
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
.........
}
}
i put this code in my parent activity
List registeredReceivers = new ArrayList<>();
#Override
public Intent registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter filter) {
registeredReceivers.add(System.identityHashCode(receiver));
return super.registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
}
#Override
public void unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver) {
if(registeredReceivers.contains(System.identityHashCode(receiver)))
super.unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
I get your problem, I faced the same problem in my Application. I was calling registerReceiver() multiple time within the application.
A simple solution to this problem is to call the registerReceiver() in your Custom Application Class. This will ensure that your Broadcast receiver will be called only one in your entire Application lifecycle.
public class YourApplication extends Application
{
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
//register your Broadcast receiver here
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter("MANUAL_BROADCAST_RECIEVER");
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReciever(), intentFilter);
}
}
This is how I have done it, it is a modified version of the answer given by ceph3us and edited by slinden77 (among other things I have removed return values of methods which I did not need):
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
private boolean isRegistered;
public void register(final Context context) {
if (!isRegistered){
Log.d(this.toString(), " going to register this broadcast receiver");
context.registerReceiver(this, new IntentFilter("MY_ACTION"));
isRegistered = true;
}
}
public void unregister(final Context context) {
if (isRegistered) {
Log.d(this.toString(), " going to unregister this broadcast receiver");
context.unregisterReceiver(this);
isRegistered = false;
}
}
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {
switch (getResultCode()){
//DO STUFF
}
}
}
Then on an Activity class:
public class MyFragmentActivity extends SingleFragmentActivity{
MyBroadcastReceiver myBroadcastReceiver;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
registerBroacastReceiver();
}
#Override
protected Fragment createFragment(){
return new MyFragment();
}
//This method is called by the fragment which is started by this activity,
//when the Fragment is done, we also register the receiver here (if required)
#Override
public void receiveDataFromFragment(MyData data) {
registerBroacastReceiver();
//Do some stuff
}
#Override
protected void onStop(){
unregisterBroacastReceiver();
super.onStop();
}
void registerBroacastReceiver(){
if (myBroadcastReceiver == null)
myBroadcastReceiver = new MyBroadcastReceiver();
myBroadcastReceiver.register(this.getApplicationContext());
}
void unregisterReceiver(){
if (MyBroadcastReceiver != null)
myBroadcastReceiver.unregister(this.getApplicationContext());
}
}
For me the following worked:
if (receiver.isOrderedBroadcast()) {
requireContext().unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
Here's what I did to check if the Broadcaster is already registered, even if you close you application (finish())
Firstime running your application, send a broadcast first it will return true/false depends on if your broadcaster in still running or not.
My Broadcaster
public class NotificationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(intent.getExtras() != null && intent.getStringExtra("test") != null){
Log.d("onReceive","test");
return;
}
}
}
My MainActivity
// init Broadcaster
private NotificationReceiver nr = new NotificationReceiver();
Intent msgrcv = new Intent("Msg");
msgrcv.putExtra("test", "testing");
boolean isRegistered = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(msgrcv);
if(!isRegistered){
Toast.makeText(this,"Starting Notification Receiver...",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(nr,new IntentFilter("Msg"));
}
if( receiver.isOrderedBroadcast() ){
// receiver object is registered
}
else{
// receiver object is not registered
}
Just check NullPointerException. If receiver does not exist, then...
try{
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("ir.sss.smsREC");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
Log.i("...","broadcast sent");
}
catch (NullPointerException e)
{
e.getMessage();
}
I need to check programmatically if the auto start permission for my app in MIUI phone is on or off. Facebook and whatsapp have this permission already enabled by default , how can I do so?
For now it's not possible.
As it's completely depend on their operating system API's and customisation. Even developers have requested for this on XIOMI's official forums but there is no response from there side.
Till now even i am finding an answer to this question but nothing helped me.
For the time being it will be only possible for rooted phones. i.e. making customisation in their firmware by becoming super user. But this is not at all advisable as it may damage user's phone.
EDIT 1
You can redirect user to autostart permission's settings page for enabling your app using following code
String manufacturer = "xiaomi";
if (manufacturer.equalsIgnoreCase(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER)) {
//this will open auto start screen where user can enable permission for your app
Intent intent1 = new Intent();
intent1.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
startActivity(intent1);
}
EDIT 2
I have recently used Mi A1 from XIOMI which have stock android (not miui) so this phone does not have autostart permission settings from miui. So take care while navigating user to the settings in such devices because it will not work here.
100% working for oppo, vivo, xiomi, letv huawei, and honor
just call this function
private void addAutoStartup() {
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
String manufacturer = android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER;
if ("xiaomi".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
} else if ("oppo".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity"));
} else if ("vivo".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity"));
} else if ("Letv".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.letv.android.letvsafe", "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity"));
} else if ("Honor".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity"));
}
List<ResolveInfo> list = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
if (list.size() > 0) {
startActivity(intent);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("exc" , String.valueOf(e));
}
}
This is not a perfect solution by any means and it requires some testing, but I've been able to detect the autostart permission on my Xiaomi device with it.
The autostart permission allows apps to be started by receiving an implicit broadcast intent. This method consists of scheduling an implicit broadcast with AlarmManager, killing the app and checking if the broadcast caused it to respawn. A second explicit intent is also scheduled just to make sure that the app is started eventually.
public class AutostartDetector extends BroadcastReceiver {
// I've omitted all the constant declaration to keep this snippet concise
// they should match the values used in the Manifest
public static void testAutoStart(Context context) {
long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
// this ID is for matching the implicit and explicit intents
// it might be unnecessary
String testId = Long.toHexString(now);
Intent implicitIntent = new Intent(ACTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST);
// the category is set just to make sure that no other receivers handle the broadcast
implicitIntent.addCategory(CATEGORY_AUTOSTART);
implicitIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEST_ID, testId);
PendingIntent implicitPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, REQUEST_CODE_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST, implicitIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Intent explicitIntent = new Intent(ACTION_EXPLICIT_BROADCAST);
explicitIntent.addCategory(CATEGORY_AUTOSTART);
explicitIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName(context, AutostartDetector.class));
explicitIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEST_ID, testId);
PendingIntent explicitPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, REQUEST_CODE_EXPLICIT_BROADCAST, explicitIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
// calling commit() makes sure that the data is written before we kill the app
// again, this might be unnecessary
getSharedPreferences(context).edit().putInt(testId, TestStatus.STARTED).commit();
// the explicit intent is set with an additional delay to let the implicit one be received first; might require some fine tuning
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, now + BASE_DELAY, implicitPendingIntent);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, now + BASE_DELAY + EXPLICIT_INTENT_DELAY, explicitPendingIntent);
// kill the app - actually kind of tricky, see below
SelfKiller.killSelf(context);
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(context);
String testId = intent.getStringExtra(EXTRA_TEST_ID);
if (testId == null) {
Log.w(TAG, "Null test ID");
return;
}
if (!sharedPreferences.contains(testId)) {
Log.w(TAG, "Unknown test ID: " + testId);
return;
}
String action = intent.getAction();
if (ACTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST.equals(action)) {
// we could assume right here that the autostart permission has been granted,
// but we should receive the explicit intent anyway, so let's use it
// as a test sanity check
Log.v(TAG, "Received implicit broadcast");
sharedPreferences.edit().putInt(testId, TestStatus.IMPLICIT_INTENT_RECEIVED).apply();
} else if (ACTION_EXPLICIT_BROADCAST.equals(action)) {
Log.v(TAG, "Received explicit broadcast");
int testStatus = sharedPreferences.getInt(testId, -1);
switch (testStatus) {
case TestStatus.STARTED:
// the implicit broadcast has NOT been received - autostart permission denied
Log.d(TAG, "Autostart disabled");
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean(PREF_AUTOSTART_ENABLED, false).apply();
notifyListener(false);
break;
case TestStatus.IMPLICIT_INTENT_RECEIVED:
// the implicit broadcast has been received - autostart permission granted
Log.d(TAG, "Autostart enabled");
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean(PREF_AUTOSTART_ENABLED, true).apply();
notifyListener(true);
break;

Receiver declaration in the manifest:
<receiver android:name=".autostart.AutostartDetector">
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="com.example.autostart.CATEGORY_AUTOSTART"/>
<action android:name="com.example.autostart.ACTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST"/>
<action android:name="com.example.autostart.ACTION_EXPLICIT_BROADCAST"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Killing the app reliably is another problem. I've been using this helper method:
public static void killSelf(Context context) {
ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
activityManager.killBackgroundProcesses(context.getPackageName());
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
// this is all we can do before ICS. luckily Xiaomi phones have newer system versions :)
System.exit(1);
return;
}
// set up a callback so System.exit() is called as soon as all
// the activities are finished
context.registerComponentCallbacks(new ComponentCallbacks2() {
#Override
public void onTrimMemory(int i) {
if (i == TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN) {
Log.v(TAG, "UI Hidden");
System.exit(1);
}
}
/* ... */
});
// see below
ActivityTracker.getInstance().finishAllActivities();
}
ActivityTracker is another utility that keeps track of activity lifecycles. Make sure to register it in the Application subclass.
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
public final class ActivityTracker implements Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
private final ArraySet<Activity> mCreatedActivities = new ArraySet<>();
public static ActivityTracker getInstance() {
return Holder.INSTANCE;
}
public static void init(Application application) {
application.registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(getInstance());
}
public static void release(Application application) {
ActivityTracker activityTracker = getInstance();
application.unregisterActivityLifecycleCallbacks(activityTracker);
activityTracker.mCreatedActivities.clear();
}
public void finishAllActivities() {
// iterate over active activities and finish them all
for (Activity activity : mCreatedActivities) {
Log.v(TAG, "Finishing " + activity);
activity.finish();
}
}
public Set<Activity> getCreatedActivities() {
return Collections.unmodifiableSet(mCreatedActivities);
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mCreatedActivities.add(activity);
}
#Override
public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
mCreatedActivities.remove(activity);
}
private static final class Holder {
private static final ActivityTracker INSTANCE = new ActivityTracker();
}
/* ... */
}
You might also want to stop all the services just to be sure.
In addition to Nikhil's answer:
First of all, some apps like Facebook, Whatsapp are whitelisted from Xiomi by default that means auto start permission will automatically be on for these apps.
I also didn't find any way to check for auto start permission if it's enabled or not and enable it programmatically. Though as above answer suggests we can redirect user to auto start permission activity but when we have to redirect user we still don't know and also this will not work in all of the Xiomi devices.
So I used an alternative for my sync adapter to work. I stored a boolean variable named "isSyncAdapterRunning" in shared preferences and set the value of it every time sync adapter runs. This way I'll be able to know if my sync adapter is working or not.
//in my sync adapter
#Override
public void onPerformSync(Account account, Bundle extras, String authority, ContentProviderClient provider, SyncResult syncResult) {
Log.e("TAG", "SyncStarted");
performSync(true);
}
public static void performSync(boolean fromSyncAdapterClass){
//write your code for sync operation
if(fromSyncAdapterClass){
setValueOfIsSyncAdapterRunningVariable();
}
}
I made other background service to perform same task if sync adapter is not working.
//In my other background service
public class BackgroundSyncService extends IntentService {
public BackgroundSyncService() {
super("BackgroundSyncService");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
SyncAdapter.performSync(false);
}
}
Now start sync adapter:
// start your sync adapter here
//And after that just start that service with a condition
if(!getValueOfIsSyncAdapterRunningVariable()){
startService(new Intent(context, BackgroundSyncService.class));
}
So basically I'm running another service to perform same task in background if my sync adapter is not working and the best thing is only one of them will run at a time.
Above code will fail if user turn on auto start permission and turn off again because value of boolean variable is already set. For that you can set value of boolean variable to default once in every 24Hrs.
Hope this helps.
For now it's not possible.
As it's completely depend on their operating system API's and customization. But i implemented a fix using SharedPreference. It doesn't solved the problem but it prevents app from opening setting screen everytime app is opened. Example :
if (AppPref.getAutoStart(context).isEmpty() && AppPref.getAutoStart(context).equals("")) {
enableAutoStart();
}
private void enableAutoStart() {
if (Build.BRAND.equalsIgnoreCase("xiaomi")) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
.setTitle("Enable AutoStart")
.setMessage("Please allow this app to always run in the background,else our services can't be accessed.")
.setNegativeButton("Deny", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
AppPref.setAutoStart(context, "");
dialog.dismiss();
}
})
.setPositiveButton("ALLOW", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
try {
AppPref.setAutoStart(context, "1");
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter",
"com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Can't perform action", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
dialog.dismiss();
}
})
.create()
.show();
}
}
This code worked for me. Simple and easy . Credit

You cannot check whether autorun permission is enabled or not because autorun feature is provided by customised os only not by android os like mi, vivo, oppo, letv etc
This is a workaround tested on MI, Honor and vivo phones.
To check whether os is customised like miui, honor ui copy and paste this method in activity, fragment or util class
public static void getAutoStartPermission(final Activity context) {
final String build_info = Build.BRAND.toLowerCase();
switch (build_info) {
case "xiaomi":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
case "letv":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
case "oppo":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
case "vivo":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
case "Honor":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
Where
fun showAutorunDialog(context: Context) {
val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(context)
//set title for alert dialog
builder.setTitle("Alert")
//set message for alert dialog
builder.setMessage("Enable Autostart permission for this app if its disabled in app settings in order to run application in background.")
builder.setCancelable(true)
//performing positive action
builder.setPositiveButton("Enable") { _, _ ->
addAutoStartup(context)
}
// Create the AlertDialog
var vpnDialog = builder.create()
// Set other dialog properties
vpnDialog!!.setCancelable(false)
vpnDialog!!.show()
}
private fun addAutoStartup(context:Context) {
try {
val intent = Intent()
val manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER
if ("xiaomi".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity")
} else if ("oppo".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")
} else if ("vivo".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity")
} else if ("Letv".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.letv.android.letvsafe", "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity")
} else if ("Honor".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity")
}
val list: List<ResolveInfo> = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY)
if (list.size > 0) {
context.startActivity(intent)
}
} catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {
Log.e("exc", e.toString())
}
}
You could use this library to check the autostart permission state on MIUI 10, 11 and 12.
https://github.com/XomaDev/MIUI-autostart
// make sure device is MIUI device, else an
// exception will be thrown at initialization
Autostart autostart = new Autostart(applicationContext);
State state = autostart.getAutoStartState();
if (state == State.DISABLED) {
// now we are sure that autostart is disabled
// ask user to enable it manually in the settings app
} else if (state == State.ENABLED) {
// now we are also sure that autostart is enabled
}
To check if permission enabled, I just starting a foreground service and check if is running.
Service:
class ExtraPermissionStateService: Service() {
companion object {
private var instance: ExtraPermissionStateService? = null
fun isAppCanRunOnBackground(context: Context): Boolean {
val serviceIntent = Intent(context, ExtraPermissionStateService::class.java)
context.startService(serviceIntent)
return instance != null
}
}
override fun onBind(p0: Intent?): IBinder? {
return null
}
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
instance = this
}
override fun onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy()
instance = null
}
}
call it:
ExtraPermissionStateService.isAppCanRunOnBackground(context)
And don't forget on the manifest:
<service android:name=".helpers.utils.ExtraPermissionStateService"/>
I have tried the below solution and it worked for me. If the "Auto Start" is enabled it will return "true", if not it will return "false".
public class CustomPermissionCheck {
private static final String TAG = "CustomPermissionCheck";
private Context context;
private static final int APP_AUTO_START_PERMISSION_CODE = 10008;
public CustomPermissionCheck(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
public boolean isAutoStartEnabled() {
try {
AppOpsManager appOpsManager = (AppOpsManager) context.getSystemService(Context.APP_OPS_SERVICE);
Method method = AppOpsManager.class.getMethod("checkOpNoThrow", int.class, int.class, String.class);
int result = (int) method.invoke(appOpsManager, APP_AUTO_START_PERMISSION_CODE, android.os.Process.myUid(), context.getPackageName());
boolean isEnabled = result == AppOpsManager.MODE_ALLOWED;
return isEnabled;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
}
You have to do allow and deny for system permissions.
below is the code:
private boolean checkPermission(){
int result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
if (result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Snackbar.make(view,"Permission Granted, Now you can access location data.",Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Snackbar.make(view,"Permission Denied, You cannot access location data.",Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
break;
}
}
When I Force Close an application, does the BroadcastReceiver keeps listening for intents?
I have this BroadcastReceiver class:
public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver implements Variables {
CheckConexion cc;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context contxt, Intent intent) {
// Cuando hay un evento, lo diferenciamos y hacemos una acción.
if (intent.getAction().equals(SMS_RECEIVED)) {
Sms sms = new Sms(null, contxt);
sms.uploadNewSms(intent);
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_LOW)) {
// st.batterylow(contxt);
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED)) {
/*
* try { new PhoneState(contxt).battery(intent.getIntExtra("level",
* 0)); } catch (JSONException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
*/// Nothing at the moment
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED)) {
Log.i("******", "Battery on");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED)) {
// st.power(0, contxt);
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED)
|| intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED)
|| intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED)) {
Database db = new Database(contxt);
if (db.open().Preferences(4)) {
Uri data = intent.getData();
new ListApps(contxt).import_app(intent, contxt, data,
intent.getAction());
}
db.close();
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(
ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION)) {
cc = new CheckConexion(contxt);
if (cc.isOnline()) {
Database db = new Database(contxt);
db.open();
if (db.move() == 1) {
new UploadOffline(contxt);
}
db.close();
}
}
}
public void register(Context c) {
IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
i.addAction(SMS_RECEIVED);
i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_LOW);
i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED);
i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED);
i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL_BUTTON);
i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_CAMERA_BUTTON);
i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED);
i.addAction(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION);
c.registerReceiver(this, i);
IntentFilter apps = new IntentFilter();
apps.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED);
apps.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED);
apps.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED);
apps.addDataScheme("package");
c.registerReceiver(this, apps);
}
public void unregister(Context c) {
c.unregisterReceiver(this);
}
}
I call register and then I Force Close. I want to keep the BroadcastRecever working and listening for the incoming intents.
Thanks.
Broadcast receivers will not work after force closing your app. This is built into the OS by design.
Register your receiver in your manifest. Then it will be permanently activated (you can manually enable/disable it if you like using the package manager).
I need to check if my registered receiver is still registered if not how do i check it any methods?
There is no API function to check if a receiver is registered. The workaround is to put your code in a try catch block as done below.
try {
//Register or UnRegister your broadcast receiver here
} catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I am not sure the API provides directly an API, if you consider this thread:
I was wondering the same thing.
In my case I have a BroadcastReceiver implementation that calls
Context#unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver) passing itself as the argument after handling the Intent that it receives.
There is a small chance that the receiver's onReceive(Context, Intent) method is called
more than once, since it is registered with multiple IntentFilters, creating the potential for an IllegalArgumentException being thrown from Context#unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver).
In my case, I can store a private synchronized member to check before calling Context#unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver), but it would be
much cleaner if the API provided a check method.
simplest solution
in receiver:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public boolean isRegistered;
/**
* register receiver
* #param context - Context
* #param filter - Intent Filter
* #return see Context.registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver,IntentFilter)
*/
public Intent register(Context context, IntentFilter filter) {
try {
// ceph3us note:
// here I propose to create
// a isRegistered(Contex) method
// as you can register receiver on different context
// so you need to match against the same one :)
// example by storing a list of weak references
// see LoadedApk.class - receiver dispatcher
// its and ArrayMap there for example
return !isRegistered
? context.registerReceiver(this, filter)
: null;
} finally {
isRegistered = true;
}
}
/**
* unregister received
* #param context - context
* #return true if was registered else false
*/
public boolean unregister(Context context) {
// additional work match on context before unregister
// eg store weak ref in register then compare in unregister
// if match same instance
return isRegistered
&& unregisterInternal(context);
}
private boolean unregisterInternal(Context context) {
context.unregisterReceiver(this);
isRegistered = false;
return true;
}
// rest implementation here
// or make this an abstract class as template :)
...
}
in code:
MyReceiver myReceiver = new MyReceiver();
myReceiver.register(Context, IntentFilter); // register
myReceiver.unregister(Context); // unregister

-- in reply to:
This really isn't that elegant because you have to remember to set the
isRegistered flag after you register. – Stealth Rabbi
-- "more ellegant way" added method in receiver to register and set flag
this won't work If you restart the device or if your app got killed by
OS. – amin 6 hours ago
#amin - see lifetime of in code (not system registered by manifest entry) registered receiver :)
I am using this solution
public class ReceiverManager {
private WeakReference<Context> cReference;
private static List<BroadcastReceiver> receivers = new ArrayList<BroadcastReceiver>();
private static ReceiverManager ref;
private ReceiverManager(Context context) {
cReference = new WeakReference<>(context);
}
public static synchronized ReceiverManager init(Context context) {
if (ref == null) ref = new ReceiverManager(context);
return ref;
}
public Intent registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter intentFilter) {
receivers.add(receiver);
Intent intent = cReference.get().registerReceiver(receiver, intentFilter);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "registered receiver: " + receiver + " with filter: " + intentFilter);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "receiver Intent: " + intent);
return intent;
}
public boolean isReceiverRegistered(BroadcastReceiver receiver) {
boolean registered = receivers.contains(receiver);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "is receiver " + receiver + " registered? " + registered);
return registered;
}
public void unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver) {
if (isReceiverRegistered(receiver)) {
receivers.remove(receiver);
cReference.get().unregisterReceiver(receiver);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "unregistered receiver: " + receiver);
}
}
}
You have several options
You can put a flag into your class or activity. Put a boolean variable into your class and look at this flag to know if you have the Receiver registered.
Create a class that extends the Receiver and there you can use:
Singleton pattern for only have one instance of this class in your project.
Implement the methods for know if the Receiver is register.
You have to use try/catch:
try {
if (receiver!=null) {
Activity.this.unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
You can do it easy....
1) create a boolean variable ...
private boolean bolBroacastRegistred;
2) When you register your Broadcast Receiver, set it to TRUE
...
bolBroacastRegistred = true;
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND));
....
3) In the onPause() do it...
if (bolBroacastRegistred) {
this.unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
bolBroacastRegistred = false
}
Just it, and now, you will not receive more exception error message on onPause().
Tip1: Always use the unregisterReceiver() in onPause() not in onDestroy()
Tip2: Dont forget to set the bolBroadcastRegistred variable to FALSE when run the unregisterReceive()
Success!
If you put this on onDestroy or onStop method. I think that when the activity has been created again the MessageReciver wasn't being created.
#Override
public void onDestroy (){
super.onDestroy();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context).unregisterReceiver(mMessageReceiver);
}
Personally I use the method of calling unregisterReceiver and swallowing the exception if it's thrown. I agree this is ugly but the best method currently provided.
I've raised a feature request to get a boolean method to check if a receiver is registered added to the Android API. Please support it here if you want to see it added:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=73718
I used Intent to let Broadcast Receiver know about Handler instance of main Activity thread and used Message to pass a message to Main activity
I have used such mechanism to check if Broadcast Receiver is already registered or not. Sometimes it is needed when you register your Broadcast Receiver dynamically and do not want to make it twice or you present to the user if Broadcast Receiver is running.
Main activity:
public class Example extends Activity {
private BroadCastReceiver_example br_exemple;
final Messenger mMessenger = new Messenger(new IncomingHandler());
private boolean running = false;
static class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
running = false;
switch (msg.what) {
case BroadCastReceiver_example.ALIVE:
running = true;
....
break;
default:
super.handleMessage(msg);
}
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("pl.example.CHECK_RECEIVER");
br_exemple = new BroadCastReceiver_example();
getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(br_exemple , filter); //register the Receiver
}
// call it whenever you want to check if Broadcast Receiver is running.
private void check_broadcastRunning() {
/**
* checkBroadcastHandler - the handler will start runnable which will check if Broadcast Receiver is running
*/
Handler checkBroadcastHandler = null;
/**
* checkBroadcastRunnable - the runnable which will check if Broadcast Receiver is running
*/
Runnable checkBroadcastRunnable = null;
Intent checkBroadCastState = new Intent();
checkBroadCastState .setAction("pl.example.CHECK_RECEIVER");
checkBroadCastState .putExtra("mainView", mMessenger);
this.sendBroadcast(checkBroadCastState );
Log.d(TAG,"check if broadcast is running");
checkBroadcastHandler = new Handler();
checkBroadcastRunnable = new Runnable(){
public void run(){
if (running == true) {
Log.d(TAG,"broadcast is running");
}
else {
Log.d(TAG,"broadcast is not running");
}
}
};
checkBroadcastHandler.postDelayed(checkBroadcastRunnable,100);
return;
}
.............
}
Broadcast Receiver:
public class BroadCastReceiver_example extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final int ALIVE = 1;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String action = intent.getAction();
if (action.equals("pl.example.CHECK_RECEIVER")) {
Log.d(TAG, "Received broadcast live checker");
Messenger mainAppMessanger = (Messenger) extras.get("mainView");
try {
mainAppMessanger.send(Message.obtain(null, ALIVE));
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
.........
}
}
i put this code in my parent activity
List registeredReceivers = new ArrayList<>();
#Override
public Intent registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter filter) {
registeredReceivers.add(System.identityHashCode(receiver));
return super.registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
}
#Override
public void unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver) {
if(registeredReceivers.contains(System.identityHashCode(receiver)))
super.unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
I get your problem, I faced the same problem in my Application. I was calling registerReceiver() multiple time within the application.
A simple solution to this problem is to call the registerReceiver() in your Custom Application Class. This will ensure that your Broadcast receiver will be called only one in your entire Application lifecycle.
public class YourApplication extends Application
{
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
//register your Broadcast receiver here
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter("MANUAL_BROADCAST_RECIEVER");
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReciever(), intentFilter);
}
}
This is how I have done it, it is a modified version of the answer given by ceph3us and edited by slinden77 (among other things I have removed return values of methods which I did not need):
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
private boolean isRegistered;
public void register(final Context context) {
if (!isRegistered){
Log.d(this.toString(), " going to register this broadcast receiver");
context.registerReceiver(this, new IntentFilter("MY_ACTION"));
isRegistered = true;
}
}
public void unregister(final Context context) {
if (isRegistered) {
Log.d(this.toString(), " going to unregister this broadcast receiver");
context.unregisterReceiver(this);
isRegistered = false;
}
}
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {
switch (getResultCode()){
//DO STUFF
}
}
}
Then on an Activity class:
public class MyFragmentActivity extends SingleFragmentActivity{
MyBroadcastReceiver myBroadcastReceiver;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
registerBroacastReceiver();
}
#Override
protected Fragment createFragment(){
return new MyFragment();
}
//This method is called by the fragment which is started by this activity,
//when the Fragment is done, we also register the receiver here (if required)
#Override
public void receiveDataFromFragment(MyData data) {
registerBroacastReceiver();
//Do some stuff
}
#Override
protected void onStop(){
unregisterBroacastReceiver();
super.onStop();
}
void registerBroacastReceiver(){
if (myBroadcastReceiver == null)
myBroadcastReceiver = new MyBroadcastReceiver();
myBroadcastReceiver.register(this.getApplicationContext());
}
void unregisterReceiver(){
if (MyBroadcastReceiver != null)
myBroadcastReceiver.unregister(this.getApplicationContext());
}
}
For me the following worked:
if (receiver.isOrderedBroadcast()) {
requireContext().unregisterReceiver(receiver);

Here's what I did to check if the Broadcaster is already registered, even if you close you application (finish())
Firstime running your application, send a broadcast first it will return true/false depends on if your broadcaster in still running or not.
My Broadcaster
public class NotificationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(intent.getExtras() != null && intent.getStringExtra("test") != null){
Log.d("onReceive","test");
return;
}
}
}
My MainActivity
// init Broadcaster
private NotificationReceiver nr = new NotificationReceiver();
Intent msgrcv = new Intent("Msg");
msgrcv.putExtra("test", "testing");
boolean isRegistered = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(msgrcv);
if(!isRegistered){
Toast.makeText(this,"Starting Notification Receiver...",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(nr,new IntentFilter("Msg"));
}
if( receiver.isOrderedBroadcast() ){
// receiver object is registered
}
else{
// receiver object is not registered
}
Just check NullPointerException. If receiver does not exist, then...
try{
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("ir.sss.smsREC");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
Log.i("...","broadcast sent");
}
catch (NullPointerException e)
{
e.getMessage();
}
