Try using an event bus like this one to post the event to the activity. From the activity, when you receive the event, you change the state of the switch. Something like this: - Your broadcast class:

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        boolean isAirplaneModeOn = intent.getBooleanExtra("state", false);
        if(isAirplaneModeOn){
            EventBus.getDefault().post(new SwitchEvent());
        }
    }
}

The activty's class:

public class YourActivity{
    //declare your switch

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        setContentView(R.layout.layout_main_activity);
        //initialize your switch
    }

    @Override
     public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        EventBus.getDefault().unregister(this);
    }

    @Subscribe(threadMode = ThreadMode.MAIN)  
    public void onMessageEvent(SwitchEvent event) {
        //update your switch element
    }
}

The event's class:

Public class SwitchEvent{
    public SwitchEvent(){
        //empty
    }
}
