How to manually call broadcast re

Answer 1

You need to mention the action which is required to be filter by Android OS to notify you. i.e.: inside manifest file,

    //this should be unique string as action

and

whenever you want to call broadcast receiver's onReceive method,

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.example.alarm.notifier");
sendBroadcast(intent);
