“Android apps and the Android system can use broadcasts as a messaging system to notify other apps of events that they might be interested in. Sticky broadcasts are a special type of broadcast for which the sent intent object(s) remains in the cache after the broadcast is complete. The system may re-broadcast sticky intents to later registrations of receivers. Unfortunately, the sticky broadcasts API suffers from a number of security-related shortcomings, which is why it was deprecated in Android 5.0 (API level 21)”
Is there an existing request for this?
