I get it now. Thanks for the explanation. I also just realized that the implementation of setOrderedHint() in BroadcastReceiver is a no-op in ICS code-base. All it contains is a comment stating that this method was accidentally left over in the SDK.
checkSynchronousHint() now checks for the non-nullness of the instance of the inner class PendingResult. And this time, I do see that the constructor of PendingResult and the setPendingResult() method in BroadcastReceiver(the combination of which would allow me to set the ordered-ness of the broadcast) are both clearly marked with @hide annotation. I'll take a call on whether to go ahead with using BroadcastReceiveranyway, or to create a work-alike. Thanks for your inputs.
