broadcast

The broadcast method sends an intent as a broadcast to registered receivers on the device.

Signature​

async broadcast(
    intent: Intent,
    options?: { user?: SingleUserOrAll; receiverPermission?: string }
): Promise<void>

Parameters​

The broadcast method takes two parameters:

  1. intent: An Intent object describing the broadcast
  2. options (optional): Additional options including:
    • user: Target a specific user for the broadcast
    • receiverPermission: Require receivers to hold a specific permission

Usage​

await activityManager.broadcast({
    action: "android.intent.action.BATTERY_CHANGED",
    extras: {
        level: 80,
        scale: 100
    }
}, {
    user: 0,
    receiverPermission: "android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY"
});

The method returns a promise that resolves when the broadcast is sent.
