This means that the request code does not have any special meaning to Android (unlike flags, the last paramter).
You can easily check this with a simple test: - Create an Intent from an action string; - Call PendingIntent.getBroadcast twice with 0 for request code, log the results; - Repeat with different request codes, log the results. You should see something like: android.os.BinderProxy@44f8e3d0} android.os.BinderProxy@44f8e3d0} android.os.BinderProxy@44f8e3d0} android.os.BinderProxy@44f8f6b8} android.os.BinderProxy@44f8fc88} android.os.BinderProxy@44f90258} The first three are the same (all created with requestCode == 0), the next three are unique. -- Kostya 2011/1/15 kl4232 <[email protected]> > Although the docs for pendingIntent.getBroadcast state that... > > requestCode Private request code for the sender (currently not > used). > > On Jan 15, 10:07 am, kl4232 <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you for this.
