How to trigger fragment's onCreate method?

Question

I have a ViewPager with 4 views. View #3 needs to respond to some broadcasted events. Hence, I register a custom BroadcastReceiver in onCreate as described here. This works if I make sure to show view #3, triggering the onCreate event. Otherwise, it doesn't work, obviously.

How can I make sure that onCreate is indeed called for fragments waiting to be shown. I.e. How to force fragment creation?
