I would like to know if there is an equivalent android.content.BroadcastReceiver in Swift.
I would need the same handler like onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
It is possible ?
Thank you

Android BroadcastReceiver is a dormant component of android that listens to system-wide broadcast events or intents. When any of these events occur it brings the application into action by either creating a status bar notification or performing a task.
You register this broadcast receiver either in the manifest file or in the code. These events are intents. So, whenever these kinds of events happen, an intent is triggered.
What does saving battery have to do with BroadcastReceivers? With Android Nougat, the support for registering three different implicit BroadcastReceivers in your AndroidManifest was removed. With apps targeting Android O, all implicit BroadcastReceivers registered in the manifest (except these) will stop working.
A BroadcastReceiver object is only valid for the duration of the call to onReceive(Context, Intent) . Once your code returns from this function, the system considers the object to be finished and no longer active.
In Swift in order to achieve the same effect you would use the NSNotificationCenter. Take a look at this link below for some guidance
