Dynamically control location tracking (registering / unregistering location broadcast receiver). How?

I want to dynamically control location tracking (registering / unregistering location broadcast receiver). This is how I am planning to do it. I have two questions :

1. What are the mistakes in the implementation below because all this concept is still very theoretical to me as I am very new to android/java dev. Still building concepts!




2. How do I pass some EXTRA_INFO from my location library class to the location receiver.

IMPLEMENTATION:

I have a library class LocationLibrary.java which consists of two methods. They do as the name suggest. The location tracking should start when I call startTracking(). Plz note the extraInfo that needs to be passed to myLocationReceiver. The tracking should stop when stopTracking() is called.

Code snippet:

public class LocationLibraray
 {
     private static BroadcastReceiver myLocationReceiver;
 
     public LocationLibraray(Context context)
     {
         this.ctx = context;
         myLocationReceiver = new MyLocationReceiver();
     }
 
     public void startTracking(Context context, String extraInfo)
     {
          IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
          filter.addAction("com.app.android.tracker.LOCATION_READY");
          context.registerReceiver(myLocationReceiver, filter);
 
         // NEED TO PASS extraInfo to myLocationReceiver for some processing, but HOW?
     }
 
     public void stopTracking(Context context)
     {
         context.unregisterReceiver(locationReceiver);
     }
 

}

MyLocationReceiver.java

public class MyLocationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver  {
 
     public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
         if ((intent.getAction() != null) && 
                 (intent.getAction().equals("com.app.android.tracker.LOCATION_READY")))
         {
              //GET THAT EXTRA INFO FROM LocationLibrary class and process it here
         }
     }
 }
 

Please help me out. Thnx!
