I've developed an application that receives a Broadcast and then
launches an `Activity`, where that `Activity` queries a `ContentProvider`
which pulls information out of the DNS in real-time.

I'd like to be able to shuffle this so that instead of going:

```
BroadcastReceiver.onReceive() {
  Intent intent = new Intent(...);
  intent.setData(...); // set a single String data
  context.startActivity(intent);
}

Activity.onCreate() {
  String value = intent.getData();  // get the String data
  Cursor = ContentProvider.query(search);
  ...
  setContentView(...);
}

```

it goes:

```
BroadcastReceiver.onReceive() {
  Cursor = ContentProvider.query(...);
  if (cursor != null) {
     Intent intent = new Intent(...);
     // how do I pass the cursor?
     getContext().startActivity(intent);
  }
}

Activity.onCreate() {
  // how do I retrieve the cursor?
  setContentView(...);
}

```

i.e. if the `query()` returns no data I want to miss out launching the
`Activity`, and allow the Broadcast message to fall through as normal.

If the `query()` does return data, I want that `Cursor` to be supplied to
the `Activity`, so that I don't have to go and query for the data again.

In turn, the `Activity` has its own UI which the user needs to respond to.

Is this possible?
