Register for the broadcast Intent with a null receiver. If you get a
non-null return value, then that return value is an Intent from the last
"sticky broadcast" matching your supplied IntentFilter. I believe the
battery updates are such a sticky broadcast. By passing null for the
receiver, you do not actually register a receiver and so do not need to
unregister anything later.

For more instructions on this, look up registerReceiver() in the Context
class (which is a base class for Activity, Service, etc.).
