I'm having a strange situation, where an intent receiver is registered with LocalBroadcastManager either from service or from MainActivity, and when intent is sent from PHONE_STATE receiver (defined in AndroidManifest.xml), it's never received.
A "self-test" with sending same intent from activity|service - works.
Is it worth trying to specify LocalBroadcastManager's intent to be received via AndroidManifest.xml?
Service is defined as:
<service
android:name=".AppService"
android:process=":remote">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="me.cmp.app.AppService" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
In service:
public class AppService extends Service {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(mMessageReceiver, new IntentFilter("me.cmp.app.statechange"));
// self-test uses same intent sending code:
Intent intent2 = new Intent("me.cmp.app.statechange");
intent2.putExtra("message", "selfsend");
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcastSync(intent2);
}
...
In manifest:
<receiver android:name="me.cmp.app.PhoneReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" >
</action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Listener:
public class PhoneReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
Log.e("test", extras.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE));
Intent intent2 = new Intent("me.cmp.app.statechange");
intent2.putExtra("message", state.toString());
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context).sendBroadcastSync(intent2);
Log.w("test", "Broadcast sent");
}
}
}

The main problem seems to be Should I use android: process =":remote" in my receiver? ; however I'm still not sure why MainActivity's receiver didn't worked earlier, maybe fully qualified names are a must.
