Re: [android-developers] Re: Can registerReciver(null,Intent) provide latest broadcast value

It is nothing complicated.  It is just the last Intent that was sent with sendStickBroadcast() that matches the IntentFilter you are using.  (If there are multiple matches, it is randomly one of them.)

That said, I would generally discourage third party apps from using sticky broadcasts.  You can accomplish the same thing other ways, and they are generally cleaner.

ok,  so I can use sendStickyBroadcast().  Just wondered how much I
know about the delivery of the latest broadcast that I get back this
way.  Is there any way to know if it was processed?  or do I need to
send a confirmation broadcast?  What do I know for sure about the
broadcast that i get back from registerReceiver(null, Intent).  Was
this the last Intent that was sucessfully delivered to all broadcast
receivers, or was it the last one that where sendStickBroadcast was
called?
