BroadcastReceiver ClassNotFoundException Xamarin Android

Question

I am getting ClassNotFoundException when trying to run the below code to start BroadCastReceiver. there is a custom notification and a buttonview to it, when i click the button the notification will close, but it is giving the below exception.

and i have created the notification channel for API 26 and above in OnCreate method too

public void OpenActivity(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         Intent intent = new Intent(this, typeof(DrawRect));
         intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.ClearTop | ActivityFlags.SingleTop);

         PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.GetActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntentFlags.OneShot);

         RemoteViews remoteView = new RemoteViews(PackageName, Resource.Layout.NotificationLayout);

         int notificationId = (int)SystemClock.CurrentThreadTimeMillis();
         Intent buttonIntent = new Intent("button_clicked");
         buttonIntent.PutExtra("id", notificationId);

         PendingIntent buttonPendingIntent = 
         PendingIntent.GetBroadcast(this, notificationId, buttonIntent, 0);

         remoteView.SetOnClickPendingIntent(Resource.Id.cloceNotification, 
         buttonPendingIntent);

         NotificationCompat.Builder notify = new 
         NotificationCompat.Builder(this, "Diet")
                        .SetSmallIcon(Resource.Mipmap.icon)
                        .SetContentTitle("Diet")
                        .SetContentText("My App")
                    .SetPriority(NotificationCompat.PriorityHigh).SetContentIntent(pendingIntent).SetOngoing(true).SetStyle(new NotificationCompat.DecoratedCustomViewStyle()).SetCustomContentView(remoteView);


         NotificationManagerCompat notificationCompat = NotificationManagerCompat.From(this);
         notify.Build().Flags |= NotificationFlags.OnlyAlertOnce;
         notificationCompat.Notify(notificationId, notify.Build());
         FinishAndRemoveTask();
     }

BroadCastReceiver Class:

public class Button_listener : BroadcastReceiver
    {
         public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
         {
              NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.From(context);
              notificationManager.Cancel(intent.GetIntExtra("id",1));
              Toast.MakeText(context, "From Broadcaster", ToastLength.Long).Show();
          }
    }

                </intent-filter>
         </receiver>
      </application>
    </manifest>

Answer 1

Removed <receiver> tag from AndroidManifest.xml file and added the BroadcastReceiver and IntentFilter attributes to the BroadcastReceiver class

Removed the below tag from Manifest file

<receiver android:name=".Main.Button_listener">
      <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="button_clicked"/>
      </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Added Attributes to BroadcastReceiver class:

[BroadcastReceiver(Enabled = true, Exported = false)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { "button_clicked" } )]
public class Button_listener : BroadcastReceiver
{
     public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
     {
          NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.From(context);

          notificationManager.Cancel(intent.GetIntExtra("id",1));
          Toast.MakeText(context, "From Broadcaster", ToastLength.Long).Show();
     }
}
