How do I set a broadcast receiver

I want to set a broadcast receiver to run some function when it gets the broadcast message, in this example, I want to catch the download's manager intent:

DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE

I looked at the Android API examples and haven't found a way to do this

Solution

  • You should read this first:
