Just out of curiosity, where you able to use this with an external broadcast receiver once you exposed the method?

[ghost]

I have not tried it as I am not setup to compile the code.

A simple build / test would help in knowing if this API actually solves a problem (we may need to expose other APIs on top of this one to make broadcast intents generally useful). Can you give this a build and let us know if it works out for you?

@perfectapi bumping -- are you still interested in getting this merged?

As far as I can tell exposing this method won't actually resolve the issue in Q&A. Activity.sendBroadcast will also need to be exposed to allow the sending of broadcast intents:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#sendBroadcast(android.content.Intent)

Would you be willing to make that change as well?

[marshall]

@perfectapi Closing this for now, AFAICT we will need to further expose Activity.sendBroadcast to make this contribution useful. Please re-open or send a new PR if you are still interested in getting this in :)
