Dave MacLean, Satya Komatineni, Grant Allen · Apress eBooks · 2015
A broadcast receiver is another component in an Android process, along with activities, content providers, and services. A broadcast receiver is a component that can respond to a broadcast message sent by a client. This message is modeled as an intent. Further, a broadcast message (intent) can be responded to by more than one receiver. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
