Error starting activity from BroadcastReceiver

Question

I am creating an app that contains an alarm. When the alarm triggers it should start a new activity, but it only shows 'Unfortunately application has stopped'.

Even the doesn't say anything. Here is my code:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.ContextWrapper;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.provider.Settings;


public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    private MediaPlayer mp;

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
        Intent i = new Intent(arg0, aani.class);
        arg0.startActivity(i);
    }

}

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Because you need to add the flag to create a new task:

Intent i = new Intent(arg0, aani.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
arg0.startActivity(i);
