Android – how to unregister a receiver created in the manifest?

by

You can use the PackageManager to enable/disable a BroadcastReceiver in declared in the Manifest. The Broadcast Receiver will get fired only when it is enabled.

Use this to create a Component

ComponentName component = new ComponentName(context, MyReceiver.class);

Check if the Component is enabled or disabled 

int status = context.getPackageManager().getComponentEnabledSetting(component);
if(status == PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED) {
    Log.d("receiver is enabled");
} else if(status == PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED) {
    Log.d("receiver is disabled");
}

Enable/Disable the component(Broadcast Receiver in your case)

//Disable
context.getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(component, PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED , PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
//Enable
context.getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(component, PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED , PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
