what is the difference between intent filters inside normal activity and inside receiver tag?
<p>I want to know the difference between intent filters inside normal activity and inside receiver tag. </p>

<p>inside the activity, does they work only if the activity is running e.g. the application contains the activity? 
if I closed the application (activity contains filter), wont it work ?</p>

<p>I don't think this happens in broadcast receiver ?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
