I do something like this:
prefs = context.getSharedPreferences(context.getPackageName() +
"_preferences", Context.MODE_PRIVATE | 0x4); // Context.MODE_MULTI_PROCESS
Which also compiles in earlier API levels. The additional flag does no harm
in pre-level-11 runtimes.
Also notice that OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener will not trigger across
processes.
