Passing data from Activity to BroadcastReceiver

Question

I have an BroadcastReceiver which add prefix to phone number of outgoing call and prefix is add by user.

Are there any way to pass Prefix (String variable) to BroadcastReceiver?

I mean after my app is kill, this BroadcastReceiver still working with Prefix that user wanted to add.

This is my code for register BroadcastReceiver

PackageManager pm  = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
ComponentName componentName = new componentName(MyActivity.this,MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName,PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

Please help me regarding this.

Through intent you can do like this -

Passing Class -

Intent i = new Intent(passing.this, received.class);
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("keyvalue", "yourprefixvalue");
i.putExtras(b);
startActivity(i);

Received Class -

In your broadcast receiver class contains onReceive method and having arguments intent. So that it can be used to get the result value from bundle.

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
{
    String result = intent.getString("keyvalue");
    // your method
}

Try this out. I've passed some values to my BroadcastReceiver class like this.
