title: Android: How to get location information from intent bundle extras when using LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates()
body: <p>I am trying to use Android's LocationManager requestLocationUpdates.  Everything is working until I try to extract the actual location object that in my broadcast receiver.  Do I need to specifically define the "extras" to my custom intent so that the Android LocationManager before I pass it to requestLocationUpdates so it knows how to add it into the intent, or will it create the extras-bundle regardless when it passes the fired intent to the broadcast receiver?</p>
  
  <p>My code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent("com.myapp.swarm.LOCATION_READY");
  PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(),
      0, intent, 0);
  
  //Register for broadcast intents
  int minTime = 5000;
  int minDistance = 0;
  lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, minTime,
      minDistance, pendingIntent);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have a broadcast receiver that is defined in the manifesto as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;receiver android:name=".LocationReceiver"&gt;
      &lt;intent-filter&gt;
          &lt;action android:name="com.myapp.swarm.LOCATION_READY" /&gt;
          &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt;
      &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
  &lt;/receiver&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the broadcast receiver class as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class LocationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
      @Override
      public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
      //Do this when the system sends the intent
      Bundle b = intent.getExtras();
      Location loc = (Location)b.get("KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED");
  
      Toast.makeText(context, loc.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My "loc" object is coming up null.</p>
