                    Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 1);

            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);

            sendBroadcast(intent);

        } else if (!isEnabled) {

    Google has been progressively locking down these system broadcasts so apps cannot send them. This broadcast was never designed to be sent by SDK apps, and toggling airplane mode has privacy and security ramifications. [The documentation for this `Intent` action](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED), like many others, has: "This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system." – CommonsWare Jun 10 '15 at 21:30
  • thanks but what is alternative solution?? – Attaullah Jun 11 '15 at 04:32
  • Hopefully, there is no alternative solution. As noted, toggling airplane mode has privacy and security ramifications. – CommonsWare Jun 11 '15 at 10:47
