A few months back I started developing an app that read incoming sms messages and saved them in a db.

A few days ago I went to revisit the app and had a quick look in the db where I discovered the app was still recording my texts!?!

I can't find any mention of my app running on the android apps option under settings or in advanced task killer.

How can I find out if it's running or not? It's bizarre!

  • Being rather development related, this question IMHO is better fitted on stackoverflow.com. – Izzy♦ Feb 23 '13 at 13:45
  • Izzy I agree, however I started out with best intentions of just finding out a list of apps – Russ Wheeler Feb 23 '13 at 14:46
  • Russ, I never implied bad intentions! But the name of this site is too often misunderstood to be related to Android development (which it is not, see our FAQ). So most OT questions are asked unaware of that, and we simply give a friendly hint. -- Looks like your accepted answer also proves the direction :) – Izzy♦ Feb 23 '13 at 17:35
  • Sorry, hope my comment didn't come across rude, I meant to agree with you. I was originally hoping for some option somewhere in the os that listed all apps. Thanks again – Russ Wheeler Feb 24 '13 at 18:34
  • Don't worry, I understood this ;) – Izzy♦ Feb 24 '13 at 19:39

It seems I don't fully understand how broadcast receivers work.
