Leaked IntentReceiver

I have the following code in my onCreate():

registerReceiver(onComplete, new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));

This line seems to be throwing the following error: Activity has leaked IntentReceiver that was originally registered here. Are you missing a call to unregisterReceiver()?.

I just don't see how this is possible though - I completely uninstall my app and then install it again, and this is the only receiver registration in the entire app. Does anyone know what's wrong?

You need to unregister your receiver in onPause:

@Override
protected void onPause() {
  // Unregister since the activity is not visible
  LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).unregisterReceiver(onComplete);
  super.onPause();
}
