How to test Broadcast receivers in Android?

Testing Broadcast Receivers in Android can be done effectively using the Android Testing Framework. You can simulate broadcast events and verify how your application responds. Below is an example of how to test a BroadcastReceiver in your Android application.

Example of Testing Broadcast Receivers

import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.IntentFilter; import androidx.test.core.app.ApplicationProvider; import androidx.test.ext.junit.runners.AndroidJUnit4; import org.junit.Assert; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; @RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class) public class MyBroadcastReceiverTest { private final BroadcastReceiver myReceiver = new MyBroadcastReceiver(); @Test public void testBroadcastReceiver() { Context context = ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext(); Intent intent = new Intent("com.example.broadcast.MY_NOTIFICATION"); intent.putExtra("data", "Test Data"); context.sendBroadcast(intent); // Verify that the receiver responds correctly. // This might require additional state verification inside the receiver. Assert.assertTrue(myReceiver.isReceiverActive()); } }
