Sticky Broadcast – 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.

Broadcasts are announcements sent to Android apps. These happen without the user being aware of them. The Android operating system initiates most broadcasts, but individual apps can broadcast too. As an example, when the battery gets low or the screen turns off, an announcement goes out to all applications. If an app receives data that's available to other applications, it will inform them. For the announcement to reach the apps, it has to go first to a broadcast receiver, a component in the app that handles broadcast messages.
