title: Intercepting an intent from an external application
body: <p>Suppose I want to develop an application that extends in some way (let me say "cooperate with") a <em>very popular application</em> I obviously don't have control over. Let us also suppose, for sake of simplicity, that the <em>very famous application</em> author won't release an update to block my application.</p>
  
  <p>I studied the application's functionality and identified that it widely uses <code>BroadcastReceiver</code>s. I also know, from manifest, the <code>com.famousvendor.intent.INTENT_NAME</code> constants I might use.</p>
  
  <p>The question is straightforward: if I create an application, namely <code>org.zighinetto.tinyapp</code> with a broadcast receiver set for intent <code>com.famousvendor.intent.INTENT_NAME</code> will <em>the tiny app</em> catch the broadcast? Or can those broadcast be received only by the process that fires them?</p>
