What is Broadcast Receiver?

A Broadcast Receiver is an Android component that listens for system-wide broadcast announcements or intents. Apps can register to listen for specific broadcasts, such as when the battery is low, when the device boots, or when a new SMS message is received. This allows apps to react to system events and perform actions in the background, even when the app is not actively running.
