    Notification createNotif()
    {
        RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(),R.layout.notif);
        ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(this,someClass.class);
        Intent intentClose = new Intent("someAction");
        intentClose.setComponent(componentName);
        views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.notifClose, PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intentClose, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
        Notification notification = new Notification();
        notification.contentView = views;

            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
            {
               if(intent.getAction().equals("someAction"))
                  someMethod();
            }
        };
        IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter("someAction");
        intentFilter.addAction("anyAction");
        registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver,intentFilter);
    }
}

Your BroadcastReceiver is a local variable inside the onCreate() method. Once you exit that method block, there is nothing holding on to the BroadcastReceiver and it will be garbage collected.

You should instead create a separate class that extends BroadcastReceiver and declare it in your AndroidManifest.xml.

<application ...
    ...
    <receiver android:name=".MyReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="someAction" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
</application>
