That's because broadcasts aren't dropped.  I don't know what probably the
original poster is having, but broadcasts don't get dropped because of their
contents.  (They will however get dropped due to error situations, such as
an app not handling its broadcast within the 10 second limit or there being
a permission failure.)

There *is* a new flag that was introduced in Froyo to allow multiple
matching broadcasts to be combined into one, but unless you are specifying
this flag this behavior will never come into play:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#FLAG_RECEIVER_REPLACE_PENDING

I suppose it is possible you could be specifying the activity flag with the
same value (FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP) for some reason when sending the
broadcast?
