Answer 1

On Receiving end:

• First register LocalBroadcast Receiver

• Then handle incoming intent data in onReceive.

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  
        LocalBroadcastManager lbm = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this);
        lbm.registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter("filter_string"));
    }
  
    public BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            if (intent != null) {
                String str = intent.getStringExtra("key");
                // get all your data from intent and do what you want 
            }
        }
    };
  

On Sending End:

   Intent intent = new Intent("filter_string");
   intent.putExtra("key", "My Data");
   // put your all data using put extra 

   LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent);
