Teigiger manuelle BOOT_COMPLETED broadcastreceiver

Is it possible to call the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcastreceiver programmatically? I use it in the normal way but I want to execute it another time during runtime.

You can't send ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED yourself. According to the docs:

"This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system."

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED

You can of course send your own intent, and trigger the same code to be called.

You are welcome to call sendBroadcast() to trigger your own BroadcastReceiver.

Usually, it is simpler just to have the common code -- needed both at boot time and at other times -- in some static method or helper class. Then, you do not need to actually call sendBroadcast(), as you can just use the static method or helper class to do the work.
