Question

When I Force Close an application, does the BroadcastReceiver keeps listening for intents?

I have this BroadcastReceiver class:

public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver implements Variables {

    CheckConexion cc;

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context contxt, Intent intent) {

        // Cuando hay un evento, lo diferenciamos y hacemos una acción.

        if (intent.getAction().equals(SMS_RECEIVED)) {
            Sms sms = new Sms(null, contxt);
            sms.uploadNewSms(intent);
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_LOW)) {
            // st.batterylow(contxt);
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED)) {
            /*
             * try { new PhoneState(contxt).battery(intent.getIntExtra("level",
             * 0)); } catch (JSONException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
             */// Nothing at the moment
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED)) {
            Log.i("******", "Battery on");
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED)) {
            // st.power(0, contxt);
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED)
                || intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED)
                || intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED)) {
            Database db = new Database(contxt);
            if (db.open().Preferences(4)) {
                Uri data = intent.getData();
                new ListApps(contxt).import_app(intent, contxt, data,
                        intent.getAction());
            }
            db.close();
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals(
                ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION)) {
            cc = new CheckConexion(contxt);
            if (cc.isOnline()) {

                Database db = new Database(contxt);
                db.open();
                if (db.move() == 1) {
                    new UploadOffline(contxt);
                }
                db.close();

            }
        }

    }

    public void register(Context c) {
        IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
        i.addAction(SMS_RECEIVED);
        i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_LOW);
        i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED);
        i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED);
        i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL_BUTTON);
        i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_CAMERA_BUTTON);
        i.addAction(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED);
        i.addAction(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION);
        c.registerReceiver(this, i);
        IntentFilter apps = new IntentFilter();
        apps.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED);
        apps.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED);
        apps.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED);
        apps.addDataScheme("package");
        c.registerReceiver(this, apps);
    }

    public void unregister(Context c) {
        c.unregisterReceiver(this);
    }
}

I call register and then I Force Close. I want to keep the BroadcastRecever working and listening for the incoming intents.

Thanks.

Broadcast receivers will not work after force closing your app. This is built into the OS by design.
