I try to get a broadcast receiver working. Should be as simple as possible, I have my manifest like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.mytest.intentRec" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:debuggable="true"> <activity android:name=".mainAct" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <receiver android:name="com.mytest.intentRec.MyIntentRec" android:enabled="true" > </receiver> </application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> </manifest> As you can see I have a main activity mainAct, this does nothing but sending the broadcast once started: public class mainAct extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); this.sendBroadcast(new Intent()); } } and I have a class MyIntentRec, which is as simple as it could: public class MyIntentRec extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.v("IntentRec", "got it"); } } What I expect is that when I start my app that a broadcast is sent and being picked up and that a log entry is written.
