How to pass an object with an Intent

I have an alarm(repeatingalarm) and BroadcastReceiver to handle it. the alarm is set in my activity with pending intent referring to BroadcastReceiver class. I have a sqlite database in my activity. i want to update my sqlite database in my alarm so i need sqlite object from my activity. it is needed for my asynctask too which is executed in my alarm too. how can i do that? in short terms, i want to pass my activity object to my broadcast constructor so i can use my sqlite instance.

EDIT: I noticed that if i define BroadcastReciever inside my activity, i can refer to it as simple as MyActivity.this. is there any other way rather than this.

you can not do too much work in 'broadcastreceiver' .

Intend you must create one service class to do this and call service from 'broadcastreceiver' . and then write your DataBase code in Service .

In Service you can create 'sqlite' DataBase object through getApplicationConext().

Also within Service must create Seperate Thread for your work or use AsyncTask to do your DataBase Operations.
