Question

I'm making an app which should show alerts whenever the user/device gets close to one of the predefined points of interest.

The only way I found for doing that (in fact i got it working like that) is to create a pending intent (with a unique name) for every single point of interest. But I think thats not the best way to do it in terms of resources..

Is it possible to achieve such functionality using just one pending intend instead of multiple separate ones?

Is there any other better way of doing that?

Thanks in advance

private void addProximityAlert(double latitude, double longitude, String poiName) {

        Bundle extras = new Bundle();   
        extras.putString("name", poiName);
                Intent intent = new Intent(PROX_ALERT_INTENT+poiName);
               intent.putExtras(extras);
        PendingIntent proximityIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MainMenu.this, 0, intent, 0);
        locationManager.addProximityAlert(
            latitude, // the latitude of the central point of the alert region
            longitude, // the longitude of the central point of the alert region
            POINT_RADIUS, // the radius of the central point of the alert region, in meters
            PROX_ALERT_EXPIRATION, // time for this proximity alert, in milliseconds, or -1 to indicate no expiration 
            proximityIntent // will be used to generate an Intent to fire when entry to or exit from the alert region is detected
       );

       IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(poiName);
       registerReceiver(new ProximityIntentReceiver(), filter);

    }
}
