Answer 1

You can use Context from onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) of BroadReceiver.

@Override     public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {         SharedPreferences prefs = arg0.getSharedPreferences("myPrefs",                                                          Context.MODE_PRIVATE); }
