Sending and receiving broadcast from the same receiver

Hello I was trying to implement a custom Broadcast receiver for my Geofence app. I just went through the solution given here But I found that he is sending the broadcast from the receiver class which receives the same broadcast. can someone please tell me how this works. I have not worked much on custom broadcast.

He is sending the broadcast from one class and receiving it in another receiver. The line below is where he sends out the broadcast. 

              Intent intent = new Intent("com.aol.android.geofence.ACTION_RECEIVE_GEOFENCE");

Here is his manifest where he registers a receiver for that broadcast

   <receiver android:name="com.aol.android.geofence.GeofenceReceiver"
    android:exported="false">
    <intent-filter >
        <action android:name="com.aol.android.geofence.ACTION_RECEIVE_GEOFENCE"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

you can send one Broadcast in another one with following code:

ntent local = new Intent();
local.setAction("BroadCastPath"); // like android.receiver.MyReceiver 
context.sendBroadcast(local);
