Enforcing Permissions when Sending Broadcasts

In addition to the permission enforcing who can send Intents to a registered BroadcastReceiver (as described above), you can also specify a required permission when sending a broadcast. By calling Context.sendBroadcast() with a permission string, you require that a receiver's application must hold that permission in order to receive your broadcast.

Note that both a receiver and a broadcaster can require a permission. When this happens, both permission checks must pass for the Intent to be delivered to the associated target.
