BroadcastReceiver registered by system_process but broadcasted by application

[nguyenvuthiennga]

Hi,
I am trying to imitate how Alarm application interacting with
AlarmManagerService.

I create a BroadcastReceiver B which is registered by system_process:

IntentFilter filter = new
IntentFilter(TIME_ALERT_ACTION);
mContext.registerReceiver(this, filter, null, null);

An application A then calls a service of a system. This service after
executes some work then set pending broadcast to B:
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(mContext,
IntentCounter, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
...
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, time, sender);

However, I got this error:
"Permission Denial: getIntentSender() from pid=248, uid=10009, (need
uid=1000) is not allowed to send as package android".

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,

Nga

It sounds like your code in the system process is still running under
application A's binder identity when trying to set the broadcast
intent. You've forgotten that binder incalls run with the calling
process's identity unless your code explicitly clears that state with
Binder.clearCallingIdentity().

Try putting this in your binder method implementation, around the code
that sets up the broadcast:

long oldId = Binder.clearCallingIdentity();
// ... code to set up the broadcast here
Binder.restoreCallingIdentity(oldId);
