How to persist data in a broadcast receiver

Question

I have a simple broadcast receiver which receives some data which I would like to store for the application to use on next launch. It is just a few strings so simplicity is the goal. Normally I'd just write to to a file or sharedPreferences but not being an activity that seems incorrect.

Thoughts?

Saving into SharedPreferences is perfectly fine. You have a Context to access it from as it is passed into the BroadcastReceiver.
