BroadcastReceiver onReceive called 3 times instead of one

I send a broadcast after i get a push notification within my onMessageReceived() method.

in BroadcastReceiver's onReceive() method I want to display an AlertDialog that allows the user to move to another fragment.

The problem is that my onReceive() method is called 3 times, instead of 1 and my AlertDialog opens 3 times.

I tried something like:

private int onReceiveCalledIndex = 0;

@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if(intent.getExtras() != null)
        {
            String requestIdString = (String) intent.getExtras().get(Constants.PUSH_NOTIFICATION_CHAT_PUT_EXTRA);
            Log.e("DEBUG_RECEIVE",String.valueOf(onReceiveCalledIndex));
            onReceiveCalledIndex += 1;
            if(onReceiveCalledIndex == 2 ) showNewMessageDialog(requestIdString);
        }
    }

But I get these logs and my index is never incremented.It's like the method is called on three different threads simultaneously ...

E/DEBUG_RECEIVE: 0

E/DEBUG_RECEIVE: 0

E/DEBUG_RECEIVE: 0

Someone please tell me a way to make the onReceive() to be called just once or to handle so I will open only one dialog.

It seams that if you register the receiver from within the activity instead of the fragment all works just fine.

Thanks for help.

Register and Unregister broadcast receiver dynamically

To register use:- 

this.registerReceiver(broadCastReceiver, new IntentFilter(droid.intent.action.TIME_TICK'));

To unregister:-

this.unregisterReceiver(broadCastReceiver);
