Answer 1

You can use Context from onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) of BroadReceiver.

@Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
        SharedPreferences prefs = arg0.getSharedPreferences("myPrefs", 
                                                        Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
