Send broadcast Intent from native code fail

Question

I need to broadcast an intent from native c++ code. I am doing

system("am broadcast -a com.example.intentreceiver.receiveIntent")

The output is

Broadcasting: Intent
{ act=com.example.intentreceiver.recieveIntent }

but the broadcast is not successful.

PS-instead of am command, mkdir or mv command works perfectly.

Answer 1

Finally worked on other device running android 4.1.2. I was trying on android 5 lollipop and did not work.

update: it was a false positive. Finally after examining logs, I made the following changes in manifest and it worked.

android:isolatedProcess="false"
