Heliboard supports a registered broadcast runtime reciever for Adroid 13
and above - see here:

<https://developer.android.google.cn/about/versions/13/features?hl=en#runtime-receivers>

Quote:

"To help make runtime receivers safer, Android 13 introduces the ability
for your app to specify whether a registered broadcast receiver should
be exported and visible to other apps on the device. On previous
versions of Android, any app on the device could send an unprotected
broadcast to a dynamically-registered receiver unless that receiver was
guarded by a signature permission."
