How do I get the Context from the Intent?

AccountAuthenticator.java:

Intent intent = new Intent(context, AccountActivity.class);

AccountActivity.java:
In onCreate(Bundle aBundle) I want to say:

getIntent().getContext();

But getContext() does not exist.

How do I get the Context from the Intent ?
Since it's passed in the Intent constructor, I was expecting it to be available on arrival in the AccountActivity.
