  <p>I'm confused about <strong><em>intent</em></strong> and <strong><em>pending intent</em></strong>.<br>
  Can anyone explain what exactly is the difference between both? I've searched on SO, I found this link but <strong>it didn't meet with my need</strong>: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5633810/what-is-difference-between-an-intent-and-a-pending-inten">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5633810/what-is-difference-between-an-intent-and-a-pending-intent</a>.</p>
  
  <p>i know Pending intent is an intent which will start later on. Normal intent is started at the time it is passed to <code>startActivity(intent)</code> or <code>StartService(intent)</code>. </p>
