No, I am saying that the broadcast is going to to the receiver you registered. It doesn't matter whether it was a service, activity, content provider, or application that registered. The service is not receiving the broadcast, it's the BroadcastReceiver that is receiving it. The service is irrelevant for who will receive it. > The problem is that this IS the message system for Android. Not really. Message/Handler is the messaging system. But this is mostly used for internal implementation of application. Intent et al is a component model. Android basically isn't a message-based system. Most of its design is oriented around interactions between components, with Intent and Uri being the primary languages for that. As an analogy, think of the difference between Win32 and COM.

Yes that is intentional. :} > Android is extraordinary, thank you for all the hard work :). Thanks!
