Broadcastreceiver Fires Multiple Times (providers_changed_action)

Why BroadcastReceiver was trigger multiple time. My Sample Project is like below code ANDROID MANIFEST

Solution 1:

Use below concept for handling multiple broadcast event:

private BroadcastReceiver gpsReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent != null) {
            String action = intent.getAction();
            if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(action) && action.equals(LocationManager.PROVIDERS_CHANGED_ACTION)) {
                //Do your stuff on GPS status change
                showDialogHandler.removeMessages(1);
                showDialogHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(1, 2000);
            }
        }
    }
};


private Handler showDialogHandler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() {
    @Override
    public boolean handleMessage(@NonNull Message message) {
        if (message.what == 1) {
            showDialogHandler.removeMessages(1);

            // do your action
        }
        return true;
    }
});
