Question

FATAL EXCEPTION: MQTT Rec: One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts

I am getting fatal exception while receiving the data from MQTT I have changed my all legacy code to new code where I am passing RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED but still, I am facing the same issue.

ContextCompat.registerReceiver(this,mMessageReceiver,
                new IntentFilter(AppConstants.INTENT_FILTERS.DASHBOARD_MESSAGE),
                ContextCompat.RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED);

The same code is working fine in the below version of 14.

Can anyone please help me in this?

Instead of using contextCompat use this if it is an activity or use requireContext() if it is a fragment.

Then use it like this.

requireContext().registerReceiver(mMessageReceiver,
                new IntentFilter(AppConstants.INTENT_FILTERS.DASHBOARD_MESSAGE),RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED);

Make sure you import the correct one. You need to import the context one.

You can even add an sdk check.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU) {
     requireContext().registerReceiver(mMessageReceiver,
                new IntentFilter(AppConstants.INTENT_FILTERS.DASHBOARD_MESSAGE),RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED);
}else {
    requireContext().registerReceiver(mMessageReceiver,
                new IntentFilter(AppConstants.INTENT_FILTERS.DASHBOARD_MESSAGE));
}
