Android, find the sender of an Intent for a monito

Question

I'm developing a monitoring application for Android listening for broadcast intents: whenever some suspicious intent pattern occurs a dialog alerting the users pops up. Indeed the intents must have been triggered by the same application, to avoid useless warnings.

In general this seems not to be possible, for instance I found something here: How to find Intent source in Android? I'm asking if there is a workaround to this, for instance looking into the context or whatsoever. I really need the application name, not the just the application name to do something else.

Cheers, Gil

I sincerely hope that you fail in your quest, as this should not be possible, for obvious privacy and security reasons.

AFAIK, no, short of creating your own custom firmware.
