IMHO, a better implementation would be to register the receiver in the
manifest, then use PackageManager and setComponentEnabledSetting() to
control when it should and should not receive broadcasts. IMHO, a
receiver registered via registerReceiver() from an activity should
only be used for broadcasts while the activity is in the foreground.
