title: addProximityAlert and BroadcastReceivers
body: <p>I am currently working on a map app that has points of interest built into it.
  These points are supposed to be announced to the user by means of a proximity alert trigger.
  Here is the addproximityAlert() code that I'm using</p>
  
  <pre><code>loc.addProximityAlert(lat, longe, radius, -1, PendingIntent.getActivity(
              c, 0, new Intent().putExtra(loc_name, loc_name), flag));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The idea is that once the alert fires an alert dialog pops up with a short blurb about the site with the option to either close the alert or get more info(uses WebView).</p>
  
  <p>Thus far I have no run-time or compile-time errors but as I approach each site, nothing happens.</p>
  
  <p>My theory on why nothing happens is that either;</p>
  
  <p>1) I haven't used the PendingIntent correctly, or</p>
  
  <p>2) I haven't set up the BroadcastReceiver correctly</p>
  
  <p>Here is the XML code for the BroadcastRecevier,</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;receiver android:name=".ProxyAlertReceiver" &gt;
          &lt;intent-filter&gt;
              &lt;action android:name="entering" /&gt;
          &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
      &lt;/receiver&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My current plan to fix this issue is to modify the PendingIntent to use a new Intent like this;</p>
  
  <pre><code>...new Intent(myContext, ProxyAlertReceiver.class)...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and see if I get any results.</p>
  
  <p>Opinions and advice on my issue would be greatly appreciated!</p>
