I have added an action to the intent filter in packages/apps/Phone/src/ com/android/phone/PhoneApp.java
intentFilter.addAction(MY_CUSTOM_ACTION); registerReceiver(mReceiver, intentFilter); Now I try to send a broadcast from my application: Intent i = new Intent(); i.setAction(MY_CUSTOM_ACTION); sendBroadcast(i); However the public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) function in the mReceiver within the PhoneApp.java doesn't seem to receive the intent. Because I have put in code that should show up following toast if control reached inside the onReceive NotificationMgr.getDefault().postTransientNotification(4, "Reached here!!!!"); Is there any mechanism in place that prevents custom apps from sending intents to the PhoneApp? I am trying to run this on an emulator. I build the android source myself and my emulator points to userdata.img. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
