A way to list all user or app-created broadcasters?

Is there any way to list all broadcasts that were created by non-system applications?

I want to obtain a list of every app, service or broadcastReceiver that listens to system (or whatever) intents. Is is possible?

I hope the question is clear enough.

Thanks

    No.

    You are welcome to build yourself a list of all "system (or whatever) intents", whatever that means. You are then welcome to use PackageManager and methods like queryIntentActivities() to determine what components will respond to them. This will not cover any BroadcastReceivers registered dynamically via registerReceiver().
