Use cases where PendingIntent is used

I am trying to see how PendingIntents are useful. Can you provide examples of apps where PendingIntents are used?

I am not looking for examples of code, but real life use cases where PendingIntents are used, with a bit of explaination.

Thanks,

In a nutshell, PendingIntent lets you authorize a different application to execute an Intent on your behalf, i.e. as you and with your permissions.

A typical case would be passing a PendingIntent to the NotificationManager. It could have an Intent to open an activity that is private to your application.

If you're passing intents within your application you don't have to deal with PendingIntent.

The documentation has a pretty good explanation of this.
