[android-developers] Broadcasts within an APK

Hi,

Is it possible to have broadcasts that are only sent within an APK? I
know that I can secure a broadcast using a custom permission string
that I declare in the manifest. However, I do not want the user to
have to approve a random permission just for internal usage. Also, I
definitely don't want other APKs to have access to the broadcasts by
using that permission. The broadcasts will have very sensitive data
in them.

The only idea I have to get around this issue is to emulate broadcasts
using service Intents and an observer pattern. Any other ideas?

Best,
Alan
