Hello, I have created a activity that is only meant to be launched from a link (using a intent filter.) I do not want this activity to have a GUI - I just want it to start a service and put a notification in the bar. I have tried to put the intent filter for the link in my service, but that does not work. Is there a better thing to do th...

I have a free and a premium version of the same app (almost same code, same classes with "if"s here and there, different packages in the manifest, same process name in the manifest). The main activity calls a service to execute some stuff, using an IMPLICIT intent. When I install both apps on the phone, it turns out that the premium ac...

I can, however, successfully register and capture this intent filter if I declare it in a manifest.xml activity section.

The main application currently needs to know what Intents to use to START these sub-applications, but is there a way...
