Yesterday I wanted to deploy/publish my first Android app at google play store but get stuck on the STICKY_BROADCAST permission that is needed/added.
Explanation on the google play store permission tab of the app:
SEND STICKY BROADCAST
Allows the app to send sticky broadcasts, which remain after the broadcast ends. Malicious apps may make the tablet slow or unstable by causing it to use too much memory.

I don't want that users may think that my app is an evil or slow app (BECAUSE I DON'T USE ANY STICKY_BROADCAST functionality in my CODE). How can i remove this permission or is it required by Adobe Air? Just one article found on the adobe site (with sort of same question) but without an answer.
In the app.xml configuration I defined only two permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
I use the internet connection to get some configuration for the app. I use the vibrate ane of adobe examples to vibrate the phone when the user tap the screen.
Why is the permission SEND STICKY BROADCAST needed/added to the package when I deploy/publish the app and what can I do to avoid it. Or better: Is there a way to avoid this permission?
I have the same problem and I just discovered it was caused by the adobe air I packaged together with my apk file. Either you tell the user to download adobe air or get a newer version of flex.
Sorry I am late, I started working with flash just last week.
