Using LocalBroadcastManager for 'sticky' broadcast

Question

Am I correct in thinking that I cannot send 'sticky' broadcasts using LocalBroadcastManager ? If so this seems very short-sighted particularly if an app uses Fragments that can be swapped in and out during the app lifecycle and relies on broadcast data..

Yes, you are correct.

You are welcome to take the source code to LocalBroadcastManager and create your own sticky extensions to it, if you so desire. Personally, I would use other means of storing such data (model fragments, singletons, or persistent data stores, depending on scenario).
