That's not possible. BroadcastReceiver is a class, not an interface. Activity is a class, not an interface. Java does not support multiple inheritance, so you cannot inherit from both Activity and BroadcastReceiver, and "implements" only works with interfaces. > So how do I tell the activity to listen for the broadcasts?
