Passing data from android activity to broadcast receiver on device boot up

Question

I always get bundle value null when I pass data from activity to broadcast receiver. My receiver will start on boot up.

This is the code in my activity class

Intent intent= new Intent();
intent.setAction("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED");
intent.putExtra("test", "test");    
sendBroadcast(intent);

This is the code in my receiver class:

String testValue = intent.getStringExtra("test");

how are you sending data from activity to receiver as receiver will trigger on bootup not activity — DjHacktorReborn, Mar 08 '13 at 13:00
I am sending data from activity to receiver so is that wrong? — user1810931, Mar 08 '13 at 13:04
you can't send data like this as activity will not be running when your phone boot up — DjHacktorReborn, Mar 08 '13 at 13:13

Your code in activity will never be called upon booting up. System invokes onReceive() with its own intent. You can check this by putting some logs in activity code - this log will not be printed in logcat.
