This is not a public class.

An Activity is not a BroadcastReceiver.
You can only use setComponent() and ComponentName if the receiver is
registered in the manifest, or *maybe* if it is a public class
registered via registerReceiver(). Right now, you are trying to send a
broadcast to the Activity, and an Activity is not a BroadcastReceiver.
