Whether written in C or Java, an app can always fire any Intent it wants to. But no other process has to listen, or act on it. Intent receivers can — should! — ask questions such as "Do I know or care about the sender of this Intent?", "Did the sender have a given Permission?", "Is the Intent well-formed according to my input validation rules?", and so on. That's where the security comes from. There is no magic. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
