Am I safe by doing the following:

Caller has a class instance BR that extends BroadcastReceiver, but
does not have an entry in the ApplicationManifest.
Caller constructs a PendingIntent using the ComponentName object
refering to the BR class.
At the time of calling startService, the Caller uses
Context.registerReceiver(BR, new IntentFilter()) (thus, if I
understand correctly, with an empty IntentFilter it cannot be selected
by Intent Resolution).
After the service has replied via the PendingIntent, the Caller
unregisters the receiver.

Can I make the BR class non-public to prevent anyone else from forming
an Intent for it?
