What BroadcastReceiver should I use when the device is shutting down?

Question

I have been developing some Android application and I need to catch some events: when the device is rebooting and when device is shutting down. I know which BroadcastReceiver I should use for the first task but I don't know anything the second one. Please, tell me about it. Thank you.

You can ACTION_SHUTDOWN Intent which is broadcast when the phone is going shutdown. Register ACTION_SHUTDOWN intent-filter action in Manifest as:

<receiver android:name=".myReceiver">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN" />
  </intent-filter>
</receiver>

and in your java code:

public class myReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if(intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN")){
            //DO SOMETHING HERE
         }
        else
         {
                ...
         }
    }

}
