Correct pattern for registering a receiver?

I need to register a receiver. I have been us开发者_如何转开发ing the following pattern:

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    registerReceiver(myReceiver, new IntentFilter(...));
}

@Override 
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    unregisterReceiver(myReceiver);
}

private BroadcastReceiver myReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    ...
});

I'm getting crash reports from marketplace about my unregisterReceiver() call:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Receiver not registered

I thought this could not be possible, but it seems this is the correct pattern instead:

private Intent mIntent;

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (mIntent == null) {
        mIntent = registerReceiver(myReceiver, new IntentFilter(...));
    }
}

@Override 
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if (mIntent != null) {
        unregisterReceiver(myReceiver);
        mIntent = null;
    }
}

private BroadcastReceiver myReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    ...
});

Is the above the correct pattern? I guess it's possible for registration to fail, and we have to keep the result from registerReceiver(), and check it in onPause() before making the call to unregister()?

Thanks

I am basing the change off of this question: Problem with BroadcastReceiver (Receiver not registered error)

I've only ever seen the first pattern above, never one where you check the intent response - any clarification would be great.

Is the above the correct pattern?

No, this isn't necessarily going to work. From the docs for registerReceiver(...)...

Returns The first sticky intent found that matches filter, or null if there are none.

In other words even if the call to register the receiver is successful, it may still return null if there are no sticky broadcasts for that intent filter.

My approach would be to simply use a boolean and a try/catch block...

private boolean isReceiverRegistered;

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (!isReceiverRegistered) {
        registerReceiver(myReceiver, new IntentFilter(...));
        isReceiverRegistered = true;
    }
}

@Override 
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if (isReceiverRegistered) {
        try {
            unregisterReceiver(myReceiver);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            // Do nothing
        }
        isReceiverRegistered = false;
    }
}
