How long does it take to broadcast from broadcastreceiver?


Asked by Mauricio Perez on Nov 30, 2021 FAQ



Calling goAsync () in your receiver's onReceive () method and passing the BroadcastReceiver.PendingResult to a background thread. This keeps the broadcast active after returning from onReceive (). However, even with this approach the system expects you to finish with the broadcast very quickly (under 10 seconds).
In this manner,
BroadcastReceievers are designed to run only when some broadcast is received (System broadcast or user defined broadcast). In case you want to run some code every minute, you can create a service and schedule it for every minute run using an Alarm Manager.
In fact, What is BroadcastReceiver. Broadcastreceiver is very important component of android listens to system-wide broadcast events or intents. When any of these events occur it brings the application into action by either creating a status bar notification or performing a task. BroadcastReceiver doesn’t contain any user interface.
Keeping this in consideration,
In this, one broadcast is delivered only to one receiver at a time. When a receiver receives a broadcast it’s up to the receiver to pass or abort the broadcast. If a receiver wants, it passes the broadcast to the next receiver else the broadcast doesn’t reach the next receiver.
Subsequently,
The state of your BroadcastReceiver (whether it is running or not) affects the state of its containing process, which can in turn affect its likelihood of being killed by the system. For example, when a process executes a receiver (that is, currently running the code in its onReceive () method), it is considered to be a foreground process.
