Listening for Broadcasts with Broadcast Receivers

To create a new Broadcast Receiver, extend the BroadcastReceiver class and override the onReceive event handler as shown in the code below:

public class NewNotificationBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
	public static final String MY_OWN_COOL_ACTIVITY = "com.my.awesome.app.COOLACTIVITY";
	
	@Override
	public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
		Uri data = intent.getData();
		String title = intent.getStringExtra("title");
		String event = intent.getStringExtra("event");
		String desc = intent.getStringExtra("desc");
		int priority = intent.getIntegerExtra("prio", 0);
		String url = intent.getStringExtra("url");
		
		// Run some custom code, if you wish
		
		// Start your own activity to execute some actions and show something for the user
		Intent = new Intent(MY_OWN_COOL_ACTIVITY, data);
		context.startActivity(startIntent);
		
	}
}

Then you need to add the receiver tag below within the application node specifying the class name of the Broadcast Receiver to register. The receiver node needs to include an intent-filter tag that specifies the action string being listened for, as shown in the XML snippet below:

<receiver android:name=".NewNotificationBroadcastReceiver">
	<intent-filter>
		<action android:name="com.usk.app.notifymyandroid.NEW_NOTIFICATION"/>
	</intent-filter>
</receiver>
