FLAG_RECEIVER_REGISTERED_ONLY

[JS]

I was curious about this from reading platform code.
Definition says: "If set, when sending a broadcast only registered
receivers will be called -- no BroadcastReceiver components will be
launched. "

Only registered receivers will be called? Isn't that how it usually
is - that only reg'd receivers get these Intents?

Please elucidate...

Thanks!

It's only given to those who call registerReceiver, and not sent to receivers declared in manifests.
