Question

Is there a way to receive broadcasts(like sms notification) in stopped application?
Actually it works simply in lower than Android 3.1.

EDIT 1:
Thanks to @Squonk for comment.
So my questions is, is it REALLY impossible? you can check PlanB app in market which does this things.

EDIT 2:
this is my broadcast receiver. The onReceive function is never called(when application is stopped).

public class SmsReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
        Log.e("kpav", "kpav");
        String url = "http://www.google.com";
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK);
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        i.addFlags(32);
        i.setData(Uri.parse(url));

        arg0.startActivity(i);
    }
}

Answer 1

For Android v3.1 onwards, any app which has been manually started at least once by the user, will receive broadcasts that it has registered in the manifest even after a reboot.

BUT…the user must have manually started that app – it’s not possible for an app to be installed and have it automatically receive broadcasts otherwise.

Also, if the user manually uses ‘Force Stop’ from the Settings on a device, it will no longer receive broadcasts until the user manually starts the app again.

So basically, in answer to your question…

Is there a way to receive broadcasts(like sms notification) in stopped application?

…the answer is no except under the circumstances I describe above.
