android - Apparently my Intent does not get delivered -

i have application needs start , stop activities.

so far ok starting activity.

the problem comes when try stop activity.

this alarmmanager broadcasts intent close activity:

        intent ftue = new intent(ctxt, videoactivty.class);         ftue.putextra("finish", true);         pendingintent pftue = pendingintent.getbroadcast(ctxt, 0, ftue, 0);         calendar calset4 = calendar.getinstance();         calset4.set(calendar.month, c.get(calendar.month));         calset4.set(calendar.year, c.get(calendar.year));         calset4.set(calendar.day_of_week, 3);         calset4.set(calendar.hour_of_day, hftue);         calset4.set(calendar.minute, mftue);         calset4.set(calendar.second, 0);         calset4.set(calendar.millisecond, 0);          //calset.settimezone(timezone.gettimezone("utc"));         mgr.setrepeating(alarmmanager.rtc_wakeup, calset4.gettimeinmillis(),                 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, pftue); 

and in activty have implemented broadcastreceiver should shut down activty.

but without success...

@override public void onresume() { super.onresume(); intentfilter f=new intentfilter(); registerreceiver(receiver, f); }   @override public void onpause() { unregisterreceiver(receiver); super.onpause(); }  broadcastreceiver receiver=new broadcastreceiver() {     public void onreceive(context context, intent intent) {         log.e("","intento ricevuto");         if(intent.getbooleanextra("finish",false))finish();      } }; 

let me make comment answer , expound on it.

if use empty intentfilter, activity won't ever receive intents broadcasted it. however, if broadcast intent specially reference type of broadcastreceiver, work.

so if defined class myreceiver extends broadcastreceiver inside videoactivity , formed broadcast intent new intent(context, videoactivity.myreceiver.class) would delivered.

hope makes sense.
