I’m attempting to write a BroadcastReceiver to be notified when the Android OS kills an app in order to reclaim resources. I’ve tried filtering on “android.intent.action.PACKAGE_RESTARTED” but I never seem to receive that broadcast, even when I force close an application.
So, am I using the correct intent action filter? If not, what is the proper one? Or is this simply not possible?
Thanks!
Steve,
Unfortunately, if there is such an Action, it is not documented. The closest that you could get to is to run a service in the “foreground” and check if a particular application is running. There is no reason, after all, that you couldn’t create such an Intent.
