What is a permanent broadcast?

What is a Sticky Intent? [Android]

I've found that some applications require a special permission to "send permanent broadcasts". I don't know what they are and how can those be helpful.

First, I don't know if I'm talinkg about public static final String BROADCAST_STICKY, and second can you briefly describe me how these permanent broadcasts work?

Or, obviously, you can address me to the proper documentation

Most important is that you got your answer ;-) – Waza_Be Sep 16 '12 at 10:34 — Waza_Be, Sep 16 '12 at 10:34

Documentation is here; http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#BROADCAST_STICKY

Allows an application to broadcast sticky intents. These are broadcasts whose data is held by the system after being finished, so that clients can quickly retrieve that data without having to wait for the next broadcast.
