Intent filter with different actions

What is the difference between the following BroadcastReceivers:

  1. ReceiverA with one intent filter, with two actions

    <receiver android:name="com.example.somepackage.ReceiverA">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.example.somepackage.intent.actionA"/>
        <action android:name="com.example.somepackage.intent.actionB"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

  2. ReceiverB with two intent filters, with one action each

    <receiver android:name="com.example.somepackage.ReceiverB">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.example.somepackage.intent.actionA"/>
    </intent-filter>
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.example.somepackage.intent.actionB"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

How will ReceiverA and ReceiverB be different in functionality from each other, regarding these actionA and actionB?

AFAIK in functionality, they both do the same: they are registered as listening to actionA and actionB.

ReceiverA is like:

 IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
 intentFilter.addAction(actionA);
 intentFilter.addAction(actionB);
 registerReceiver(ReceiverA, intentFilter);

ReceiverB is like:

registerReceiver(ReceiverB, intentFilterActionA);
registerReceiver(ReceiverB, intentFilterActionB);
