AlertDialog from within BroadcastReceiver? Can it be done? I am working on a app that will pop up a Dialog box if I get SMS message. I am trying to code this within a BroadcaseReceiver. But I cant use this line of code AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); . Can someone please help me with a hint! public class SMSPopUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { private static final String LOG_TAG = "SMSReceiver"; public static final int NOTIFICATION_ID_RECEIVED = 0x1221; static final String ACTION = "android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"; public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.i(LOG_TAG, "onReceive"); if (intent.getAction().equals(SMSPopUpReceiver.ACTION)) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras(); if (bundle != null) { Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus"); for (Object pdu : pdus){ SmsMessage messages = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdu); sb.append("Received SMS\nFrom: "); sb.append(messages.getDisplayOriginatingAddress()); sb.append("\n----Message----\n"); sb.append( messages.getDisplayMessageBody()); } } Log.i(SMSPopUpReceiver.LOG_TAG, "[SMSApp] onReceiveIntent: " + sb); Toast.makeText (context, sb.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?") .setCancelable(false) .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { dialog.cancel(); } }) .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterfa
