For broadcasts that are generated often and fairly continually, we don't
want to end up with a bunch of applications being launched each time they
are sent.

We also don't let applications register in their manifest for screen on off
for a similar reason -- we don't want to start having to launch a bunch of
apps each time the screen is turned on causing a noticeable delay.

provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.  All such
questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and
answer them.
