For example, for ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED, Android does not want to start up a whole 'nuther process just because the battery level shifted. Hence, to receive that broadcast Intent, you need to use registerReceiver(). Also, ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED only really works from a manifest-registered receiver, because by the time your code is in position to call registerReceiver(), the boot is long gone. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
