If you send a broadcast, and your activity isn't currently running, then your Broadcast receiver isn't registered with the OS. How could it be? Your activity hasn't run the code to register itself. And, furthermore, if you've done it correctly, when your activity goes away, it should unregister itself or you will run into problems.
I think you are confusing receivers with intent-filters. I would read through this before continuing: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-filters.html I think what you are TRYING to do is the equivalent of using an intent filter to implicitly start your activity. But that is likely overkill. When you are trying to launch an activity that is part of your own application, 99% of the time you will want to use an explicit intent to start the activity. In both cases, you will want to use the context.startActivity() method... The difference between implicit and explicit intents is in how you construct the Intent object.
