[android-developers] Android intent takes a long time to be received

In my app I am sending an intent to update an appWidget. The problem is, from the logcat I can see that the intent is taking on average ten seconds to be received. 

     05-16 18:12:54.070: DEBUG/PHCA_Variable(7580): Broadcast sent

     05-16 18:13:03.350: DEBUG/PHCA_PhcaAppWidgetProvider(7580): onReceive(); action = android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE

The only thing I see that looks a little fishy is a warning that an activity is starting. Why would that be a warning? Other than that, everything seems ok.

The code to send the intent is nothing special:

Log.d(MY_DEBUG_TAG, "UpdateAppWidgets()");

Intent i = new Intent();

i.setAction(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE);

        ComponentName phcaWidget = new ComponentName(ctx, PhcaAppWidgetProvider.class);

i.putExtra("appWidgetIds", AppWidgetManager.getInstance(ctx).getAppWidgetIds(phcaWidget));

ctx.sendBroadcast(i);

Log.d(MY_DEBUG_TAG, "Broadcast sent");

And the onReceive in the appWidgetProvider is nothing special either. The Log statement is the first command.

What could cause an intent to take upwards of ten seconds to be received?
