What is the difference between Context.sendBroadcastAsUser and Context.startActivity?

What does UserHandle, included in the arguments for sendBroadcastAsUser, add and how does it change how the system handles the intent?

SendBroadcastAsUser(Intent intent, UserHandle user, string receiverPermission);

  1. Version of sendBroadcast(Intent, String) that allows you to specify the user the broadcast will be sent to.
  2. This is not available to applications that are not pre-installed on the system image. Using it requires holding the INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS permission.sendBroadcast(Intent, String) Version Information
  3. Supported after Android v4.2

Context.startActivity

Used to start a different activity.
