Not sure what's going on then... i suggest you add some logging to your 
activity and receiver and try to see what goes wrong... i'm guessing that 
when the app is in the foreground a different intent is being sent (maybe 
because they exit the car mode differently). Not familiar with these 
situations,.sorry :)
