How to start an Intent if context is not Activity Context but Application Context

Question

I'm trying to start an activity from a class that extends BroadcastReceiver.

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { 

the problem is that parameter context is the Application context and not an Activity context.

Is there a way start an intent using the Application context?

Here is sample code how to call another activity using context, set flag as per your requirement:

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {           Intent intent = new Intent();        intent.setClass(context, xxx.class);      intent.setAction(xxx.class.getName());      intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);      context.startActivity(intent);   }
