Broadcasting and receiving extra doubles

I'm attempting to broadcast extras in an am broadcast in adb shell. In my BroadcastReceiver in android, I'm subscribed to the broadcast and pull the extras out of the Bundle.

My trouble lies with doubles. I assumed that a broadcast could include a double since the Bundle class has a getDouble method, e.g.:

double percentComplete = bundle.getDouble("percent_complete");

However, the am broadcast command in adb shell doesn't seem to support doubles, only floats. When I send the float, the Bundle.getDouble() method throws an internal exception, logged at the warning level, indicating that it fails to cast Float to Double.

Can I send doubles, or am I forced to use floats?

Here are the flags for specifiying extras that I am aware of, as reported by am.

<INTENT> specifications include these flags and arguments:
    [-a <ACTION>] [-d <DATA_URI>] [-t <MIME_TYPE>]
    [-c <CATEGORY> [-c <CATEGORY>] ...]
    [-e|--es <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_STRING_VALUE> ...]
    [--esn <EXTRA_KEY> ...]
    [--ez <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_BOOLEAN_VALUE> ...]
    [--ei <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_INT_VALUE> ...]
    [--el <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_LONG_VALUE> ...]
    [--ef <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_FLOAT_VALUE> ...]
    [--eu <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_URI_VALUE> ...]
    [--ecn <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_COMPONENT_NAME_VALUE>]
    [--eia <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_INT_VALUE>[,<EXTRA_INT_VALUE...]]
    [--ela <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_LONG_VALUE>[,<EXTRA_LONG_VALUE...]]
    [--efa <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_FLOAT_VALUE>[,<EXTRA_FLOAT_VALUE...]]
    [-n <COMPONENT>] [-f <FLAGS>]

    [--activity-clear-when-task-reset] [--activity-exclude-from-recents]
    [--activity-launched-from-history] [--activity-multiple-task]
    [--activity-no-animation] [--activity-no-history]
    [--activity-no-user-action] [--activity-previous-is-top]
    [--activity-reorder-to-front] [--activity-reset-task-if-needed]
    [--activity-single-top] [--activity-clear-task]
    [--activity-task-on-home]
    [--receiver-registered-only] [--receiver-replace-pending]
    [--selector]
    [<URI> | <PACKAGE> | <COMPONENT>]

You can use URI format to provide <INTENT> to am broadcast and am startservice:

adb shell am broadcast "intent:#Intent;action=android.intent.action.YOUR_ACTION;d.percent_complete=99.999;end"

URI format supports the following extra types:

Bundle b = intent.mExtras;
if      (uri.startsWith("S.", i)) b.putString(key, value);
else if (uri.startsWith("B.", i)) b.putBoolean(key, Boolean.parseBoolean(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("b.", i)) b.putByte(key, Byte.parseByte(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("c.", i)) b.putChar(key, value.charAt(0));
else if (uri.startsWith("d.", i)) b.putDouble(key, Double.parseDouble(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("f.", i)) b.putFloat(key, Float.parseFloat(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("i.", i)) b.putInt(key, Integer.parseInt(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("l.", i)) b.putLong(key, Long.parseLong(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("s.", i)) b.putShort(key, Short.parseShort(value));
else throw new URISyntaxException(uri, "unknown EXTRA type", i);
