Can a LocalBroadcastManager send Intent to global BroadcastReceivers in the same App?
Can a LocalBroadcastManager send an Intent to a globally registered BroadcastReceiver if it resides in the same App? Or do I have to use context.sendBroadcast() for that?
No. LocalBroadcastManager cannot send Intent to global BroadcastReceivers.
Explanation:
LocalBroadcastManager has a private HashMap, in which it maps BroadcastReceiver to ArrayList<IntentFilter>, when registerReceiver method is called explicitly using any context within application. It does not hold any record of global BroadcastReceivers declared in AndroidManifest.xml. So, LocalBroadcastManager won't send Intent to global BroadcastReceivers.
See the below screenshot captured while I debugged LocalBroadcastReceiver from my application which has three BroadcastReceivers declared globally in AndroidManifest.xml
