title: Android - How to trigger a Broadcast Receiver to call its onReceive() method?
body: <p>I have scheduled alarm for my application. </p>
  
  <p>I have implemented broadcast receiver to be triggered once the alarm time reaches. </p>
  
  <p>How to manually call broadcast receiver to execute the code inside of onReceive method without replicating the code twice. </p>
  
  <p>I thought of having the code in utility singleton call and call that method by having util class instance from anywhere. </p>
  
  <p>But is that any other way to call that onReceive method directly or else broadcast intent problematically. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>android:exported="false" //Additional parameter of receiver when
    defining in manifest file.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Another question is what is that exported parameter means. Please help me to understand this. </p>
