71.6 Adding the PiP Action

With the broadcast receiver implemented, the next step is to create a RemoteAction object configured with an image to represent the action within the PiP window. For the purposes of this example, an image icon file named ic_info_24dp.xml will be used. This file can be found in the project_icons folder of the source code download archive available from the following URL:
