Get Context in a Service
android, android-service, broadcastreceiver
Solution
Service is a Context
Problem
Is there any reliable way to get a `Context` from a `Service`? I want to register a broadcast receiver for `ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED` but I don't need my app to always get this information, so I don't put it in the `Manifest`. However, I can't have the broadcast receiver be killed by the GC when I need this information so I'm registering the broadcast receiver in a `Service`. Hence, I need a `Context` to to call `registerReceiver()`. When I no longer need the `ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED` I unregister it. Any tips?
