How to unregister MediaButtonReceiver onDestroy?

Question

iam using MediaButtonReciever in my Streaming service to listen handle head sets and different devices action i'm declaring it in Manifest like this

   <receiver android:name="android.support.v4.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

The actions works just fine as long as the app in the background once the app is terminated if i clicked on any MediaButton it crashes as the media button with the following crash

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver android.support.v4.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find any Service that handles android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON or a media browser service implementation

the problem is the receiver keeps receiving even if the app is destroyed, now how can i unregister the receiver once the app close ? i have tried audioManager.unregister(MediaButtonReciever) but its depreciated

Answer 1

the problem was that i was using the default class in my manifest like this

 <receiver android:name="android.support.v4.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

which was wrong the the receiver automatically unregister after onReceive() is finished

Once you return from onReceive(), the BroadcastReceiver is no longer active, source

so all idid was i extened MediaRecieverButton in my custom class MyMediaButtonReceiver and edited my manifest like this

<receiver android:name=".MyMediaButtonReceiver">
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
</intent-filter>

and it worked just fine
