BroadcastReceiver lifecycle

android, android-lifecycle, broadcastreceiver, service

Solution

Declare broadcast receiver in manifest to achieve independent life cycle for it.

Problem

1) I have an Activity. This Activity starts a service, which in turn creates and registers a BroadcastReceiver. 2) I have an Activity. This Activity creates and registers a BroadcastReceiver. When does BroadcastReceiver's life end in each of the above cases? In other words - when it gets destroyed and won't listen to broadcasts anymore?
