How can I extend Activity class and BroadcastReceiver at a same time in android-java
<p>I broadcast an Intent : com.ss.CUSTOM_INTENT<br/></p>

<pre><code>/*-----Class BroadcastReceiverApp-------*/&lt;br/&gt;
public class BroadcastReceiverApp extends Activity{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.broadcast_activity);
    }

/*    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }*/

    // broadcast a custom intent.
    public void broadcastIntent(View view){
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setAction("com.ss.CUSTOM_INTENT");
        sendBroadcast(intent);
    }
}
/*------------------------*/
</code></pre>

<p>But when I receive that broadcast intent, I want it to be shown in notification drawer.
The Receiver class can extend only BroadcastReceiver class, hence it is now allowing to extend Activity class there by I cannot use:<br/></p>

<pre><code>Context context = getApplicationContext();
</code></pre>

<p>which is to be further used in Notification.Builder(context)....<br/></p>

<p>This is my the Broadcast Receiver class:<br/></p>

<pre><code>public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver , Activity{

    private static final int MY_NOTIFICATION_ID=1;
    NotificationManager notificationManager;
    Notification myNotification;
    private final String myBlog = "http://android-er.blogspot.com/";
    Context cont = getApplicationContext();

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Intent Detected.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(myBlog));
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
                MyReceiver.this,
                0,
                myIntent,
                Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

        myNotification = new Notification.Builder(context)
                .setContentTitle("Exercise of Notification!")
                .setContentText("http://android-er.blogspot.com/")
                .setTicker("Notification!")
                .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                .build();

        notificationManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        notificationManager.notify(MY_NOTIFICATION_ID, myNotification);

        Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(),"Sucessfully Changed Time");
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Can anyone help in this ? I want to later change the broadcast intent to "android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED/TIME_CHANGED" which is even not working.</p>
