Broadcast received twice

Question

I am using a local broadcast to let my service know that the AsyncTask has finished its work but I have a small issue : the broadcast is only sent once (it is created by a function that is only called when the app is launched) but I receive it twice.

simplified code :

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(HttpResponse result) {
    LocalBroadcastManager localBroadcastManager = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getBaseContext());
    localBroadcastManager.sendBroadcast(new Intent(getString(R.string.bc_CONNECTED)));
}

in the service:

private BroadcastReceiver connectedBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d(getString(R.string.app_tag), "broadcast received !!");
    }
};

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(connectedBroadcastReceiver, new IntentFilter(getString(R.string.bc_CONNECTED)));
    return START_STICKY;
}

Has anyone encountered such a weird behavior yet?

Answer 1

I had the same issue, the problem was that I was registrering the receiver in the onCreate method and in the onResume method. Removing from the onCreate the problem was solved.
