Answer 1

You should register and unregister your receivers in onResume() and in onPause() respectively. Cause if you only register it in onCreate() and unregister in onPause(), then the next time the activity is brought to the foreground, onCreate() will not be called again and then it will not register the receiver again. But onResume() is always called on the activity being displayed.

public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    ....
    registerReceiver(myBroadcastReceiver, intentFilter);
}

public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    ...
    unregisterReceiver(myBroadcastReceiver);
}
