Use context which is first parameter in onReceive for calling openOrCreateDatabase method as:

db=SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(DATABASE_NAME,
                                       context.MODE_PRIVATE,  null);

Why i can not open sqlite database in android BroadcastReceiver?

Because broadcast life is very less so it's not possible to perform long running tasks in onReceive method like API calls, DB operations or any other task which taking more time.

Suggestion : Instead of doing task inside onReceive use IntentService which will do task for application and stop self when task complete.
