I am assuming you meant:

"Would this most easily be accomplished by publishing high priority
broadcast receivers to handle everything, then just aborting the
broadcasts?"

If my interpretation is correct, then the answer is no. For example, you
can't prevent activities from starting or prevent services from running
via this technique. More importantly, many broadcasts are not ordered,
and so are not abortable.

I sincerely hope that it is an impossible thing for a plain Android SDK
application to to. While you say your intentions are good, if this *is*
possible, then those with ill intentions will do the same thing.

Android 2.2 has device administration capabilities (e.g., remote wipe),
which may be better suited to your scenario. If you feel those
capabilities are insufficient, you are welcome to propose and help
implement modifications to Android itself that cover your scenario via
the device administration framework.
