I’ve spent probably the best part of a couple of days attempting to get Proximity Alerts working in Android. There are a large number of Google Group threads, all leading to essentially someone saying it still doesn’t work. There was one or two that had working solutions, or some who managed to get it working to a certain degree.

Just for the record, I need to learn a great deal more about Intent Filters and Broadcast Receivers as my knowledge of them is fairly vague, so please correct me in the comments if I say anything wrong, or should be implementing things differently.
