Question

I have two applications. One is a receiver and its starting my application. It works fine. Now i want destroy my application from the receiver itself. Is that possible ? Please note that these are my own application

Answer 1

It is possible but the activity has to finish itself using the finish()-method.

You can register an activity to a receiver using registerReceiver(..) and handle your logic in your activity. Don’t forget to unregisterReceiver(...) inside the OnDestroy.

Example:

BroadcastReceiver mReceiver;

@Overrride
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){

  IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
  filter.addAction(...);

  mReceiver= new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
      // implement logic
      finish();
    }
  }
  registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);

}
