I came across this term in the android documentation with the accompanying definition
These are broadcasts whose data is held by the system after being finished, so that clients can quickly retrieve that data without having to wait for the next broadcast.
What does it mean? Can someone elaborate its use with a particular example? I believe we have to request a permission for using this intent? Why so?
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY"/> - Allows an application to broadcast sticky intents.
