Is it not possible to start an activity from BroadcastReceiver

Question

I want to call this activity from a class extending BroadcastReceiver but its not working

Intent i = new Intent(DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_SET_NEW_PASSWORD);
co         


        

Answer 1

Add the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag to your intent, eg:

i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

Answer 2

Try this

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(context, yourclass.class);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    context.startActivity(intent);
}

yourclass.class is your activity class that you want to start. Also, do not forget to add flags as new task.
