How to accept Broadcast listener of volume key only when i start my services

Question

I start my services by clicking in button and stop my services by stop button.

My Service class is given below

public class Services extends Service {

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand (Intent intent,int flags, int startId){
        Log.d("Services","Started...");
        return START_NOT_STICKY;
    }
    @Override
    public void onDestroy () {
        super.onDestroy();
        Log.d("Services","Stoped...");
    }
}

My Receiver class is given below

public class Reciever extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        //check the intent something like:
        if (Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON.equals(intent.getAction())) {
            KeyEvent event = (KeyEvent) intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT);
            if (KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP== event.getKeyCode()) {
               Log.d("Volume","Down");
            }
        }
    }

}

Register the receiver when you are starting your service and unregister the broadcast receiver when you stop your service. — Saran Sankaran, Dec 20 '17 at 10:03

First remove the internet filters in the manifest and then. In the Activity where you are starting the service, along with that register your BroadcastReciverand when you stop the service from Activity the activity, after stop UnRegister the BroadcastRecived

Register

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("SOME_ACTION");
filter.addAction("SOME_OTHER_ACTION");

receiver = new MyBroadcastReceiver();
registerReceiver(receiver, filter);

Unregister

if (receiver != null) {
   unregisterReceiver(receiver);
   receiver = null;
}

private void StopClick() { stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this,Services.class)); unregisterReceiver(broadcastReceiver); } private void Startclick() { startService(new Intent(MainActivity.this,Services.class)); IntentFilter mediaFilter = new IntentFilter(); mediaFilter.addAction("android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON"); this.registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, mediaFilter); registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, mediaFilter); } – Roshan Sharma Dec 20 '17 at 10:25
