Update a view in a fragment

ViewPager Activity to notify a Fragment of a specific event

I am experimenting with using fragments and I ran into this problem. I have a service running in the background which I want to update a listview in a fragment. First I just wanted to have the fragment listen for a broadcast, but it seems like registerReceiver is not allowed in a fragment? How do I do this. Do I need to listen for a broadcast in the main activity and then somhow send it to the fragment?

I'd use the activity for this. Google has some good examples and description of the topic fragment and activity communication. You can read about it here: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/communicating.html

In short, fragments use listeners to communicate with activities and activities just use public methodes in fragments.
