What is Broadcast Receivers?

Broadcast Receivers are a component of the Android operating system that allow applications to receive and react to system-wide events (broadcasts). These events can be triggered by the system itself (e.g., when the battery is low, when the device is connected to power, or when a new app is installed) or by other applications. Broadcast Receivers enable applications to be loosely coupled and respond to events without actively polling or monitoring the system. They are commonly used for tasks such as updating application data when the network connectivity changes, scheduling background tasks based on system events, or displaying notifications to the user.
