Will Android BroadcastReceivers still receive intents if the process housing the receiver is killed? -

i'm curious if broadcast receiver specified pending intent sent process fire if app killed.

yes. if app publishes broadcastreceiver via <receiver> tag in androidmanifest.xml, , kills app's process, incoming intent (re)start process.

on other hand, if app registers receiver in activity.onresume() method, should unregister in activity.onpause().

see receiver lifecycle , process lifecycle.
