Below is my code:

    public class RetentionApplicationAddedBroadcastReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(),
            RetentionAddIntentService.class.getName());
    // Start the service, keeping the device awake while it is launching.
    startWakefulService(context, (intent.setComponent(comp)));
    setResultCode(Activity.RESULT_OK); //**LINE 18**
}

Answer 1

Delete setResultCode(). That is only for use with an ordered broadcast, as is described in the documentation for setResultCode().

Answer 2

The clean way to fix it would be to do as follows:

if (isOrderedBroadcast()) {
    setResultCode(Activity.RESULT_OK);
}
