Communication between BroadcastReceiver and Activity – android

You can use observers , like

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public MyReceiver() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        ObservableObject.getInstance().updateValue(intent);
    }
}

---

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements Observer {
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        ObservableObject.getInstance().addObserver(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void update(Observable observable, Object data) {            
        Toast.makeText(this, String.valueOf("activity observer " + data), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

---

public class ObservableObject extends Observable {
    private static ObservableObject instance = new ObservableObject();

    public static ObservableObject getInstance() {
        return instance;
    }

    private ObservableObject() {
    }

    public void updateValue(Object data) {
        synchronized (this) {
            setChanged();
            notifyObservers(data);
        }
    }
}

Receiver can be used via manifest.
ObservableObject – must be singleton.
