If the Context passed into your onReceive() method is named ctxt, use: ctxt.getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(null, myIntentFilter); Then, you won't need service and extra overhead of starting it up. I just remembered that I had a blog post on this: http://commonsware.com/blog/2010/09/12/real-use-getapplicationcontext.html -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in Atlanta: http://bignerdranch.com/classes/android -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
