I am trying to implement a Broadcast receiver to get the events when I uninstall, install and make a phone call (incoming and outgoing). I have registered the intent-filters in the AndroidManifest.xml but when I run my app on my phone then it throws runtime exception.
My code:
package com.local.broadcast_receiver;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;
public class MainActivity extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver {
static boolean flag = false;
static long start_time_incoming = 0;
static long start_time_outgoing = 0;
static long end_time;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent intent){
String action = intent.getAction();
if (action.equalsIgnoreCase("android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE")) {
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(
TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER)) {
start_time_incoming = System.currentTimeMillis();
}else if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(
TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) {
start_time_outgoing = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(
TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE)) {
end_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
if (start_time_incoming != 0) {
//Total time talked =
long total_time = end_time - start_time_incoming;
//Store total_time somewhere or pass it to an Activity using intent
Log.i("Broadcast", "Last incoming call duration:" + total_time);
}else if (start_time_outgoing != 0) {
//Total time talked =
long total_time = end_time - start_time_outgoing;
//Store total_time somewhere or pass it to an Activity using intent
Log.i("Broadcast", "Last outgoing call duration:" + total_time);
}
}else if(intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED")) {
Uri uri = intent.getData();
String pkg = uri != null ? uri.getSchemeSpecificPart() : null;
Log.i("Broadcast", "name of package removed is:" + pkg);
}else if(intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED")) {
Uri uri = intent.getData();
String pkg = uri != null ? uri.getSchemeSpecificPart() : null;
Log.i("Broadcast","name of package Added is:" + pkg);
}
}
}
and my AndroidManifest.xml looks like below:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.local.broadcast_receiver">
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG"
android:maxSdkVersion="25" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="25" />
<receiver android:name="MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED" />
<data android:scheme="package" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
and I get runtimeexception:-

Tried searching through different posts available here on topic "cannot be cast to android.app.Activity" but unable to get any hint. Can somebody point out what is wrong and what should I do to run this code on my phone?
Thanks
