Sure. When you want to start it, call registerReceiver. When you want it off, call unregisterReceiver.

Register Receiver on Button Click:

YourReceiver mReceiver ;
btnRegister.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                                  IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(your action filter);
                     mReceiver = new YourReceiver();
                                 registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
    }
});

Unregistered receiver :

 btnRegister.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
try
        {

            unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
        }catch(IllegalArgumentException ex)
        {
            //your message.
        }
    }
});

Hope this helps...
