Reason

• LocalBroadcastManager is an application-wide event bus and embraces layer violations in your app; any component may listen to events from any other component.
• It inherits unnecessary use-case limitations of system BroadcastManager; developers have to use Intent even though objects live in only one process and never leave it. For this same reason, it doesn’t follow feature-wise BroadcastManager .

These add up to a confusing developer experience.

Replacement

• You can replace usage of LocalBroadcastManager with other implementations of the observable pattern. Depending on your use case, suitable options may be LiveData or reactive streams.
