This is how I'm sending broadcast

if (isPlaying) {
                val intent = Intent(MUSIC_REQUEST)
                intent.action = PAUSE
                requireContext().sendBroadcast(intent)
                binding.playSong.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_play_icn)
            } else {
                val intent = Intent(MUSIC_REQUEST)
                intent.action = PLAY
                requireContext().sendBroadcast(intent)
                binding.playSong.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_pause_icn)
            }

And this is how I'm receiving Broadcast

when (intent!!.action) {
                PAUSE -> {
                    if (mediaPlayer!!.isPlaying) {
                        Log.i(TAG, "onReceive: paused Received")
                        mediaPlayer!!.pause()
                        isPlaying = false
                        val pI = Intent(MUSIC_REQUEST)
                        pI.action = PAUSE_REQUEST_COMPLETED
                        sendBroadcast(pI)

                    }
                }
                PLAY -> {
                    isPlaying = true
                    Log.i(TAG, "onReceive: play Received")
                    mediaPlayer!!.start()
                    val pI = Intent(MUSIC_REQUEST)
                    pI.action = PLAY_REQUEST_COMPLETED
                    sendBroadcast(pI)
                }

This is how I'm registering it in on create of service

LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(receiver, IntentFilter())

but at receiving end I'm unable to receive intent. Kindly guide me what could be possible error

CodePudding user response：

Broadcasts sent via requireContext().sendBroadcast(intent) are not local broadcasts

You need to use LocalBroadcastManager for the sending as well.

LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent)

CodePudding user response：

register receiver like this:

val intentFilter = IntentFilter()
filter.addAction(PAUSE)
filter.addAction(PLAY)
context.registerReceiver(receiver, intentFilter)

or this: add the filter to your receiver, in AndroidManifest.xml

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="PAUSE" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="PLAY" />
</intent-filter>
