Multiple custom broadcasting (how to handle)

Question

I want to add a custom broadcast receiver to my app. and I have 3 methods that should do the broadcast. and in my onReceive method i want to identify which method did the broadcast. I have 3 methods like this

public void method01(View v){
    int flag = 1;
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.addFlags(flag);
    broadcastIntent(intent);
}

public void method02(){
    int flag = 2;
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.addFlags(flag);
    broadcastIntent(intent);    
}

public void method03(){
    int flag = 3;
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.addFlags(flag);
    broadcastIntent(intent);
}

and this is my broadcastIntent method

public void broadcastIntent(Intent intent){
    sendBroadcast(intent);
}

in my onReceive method i use getFlags() method to get the flag value from the intent and send it through a if, else. but this do not work. any suggestion for improvements are welcome.

Answer 1

I found out the way to this and thought of sharing the code. this is the broadcasting done in my main activity for 2 different methods.

public void method1(View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction("method1");
    sendBroadcast(intent);
}

public void method2(View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction("method2");
    sendBroadcast(intent);
}

and this is how i receive it..

public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Toast.makeText(context, "Broadcast Intent Detected.",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

this is how i registered it on manifest.

 <receiver android:name="Receiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="method1" >
            </action>
            <action android:name="method2" >
            </action>
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Hope this will help if any one else came up with similar problem. and big thank you to every one who posted their answers here.
