The Android system automatically sends broadcasts when various system events occur, such as when the system switches in and out of airplane mode. The system sends these broadcasts to all apps that are subscribed to receive the event.
The table below lists the standard system broadcast intents that your app can receive in Android 12 (API level 31). To learn more about each broadcast Intent, use the links below. To learn more about broadcasts or how to receive them, see the documentation.
Note: If you discover that a device does not handle a common app intent as expected, please let us know by giving us feedback.
