[android-developers] can _ever_ the intent received by a BroadcastReceiver onReceive() method be null?

In other words :

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        final String action = intent.getAction(); // can intent==null here ?
    }

I need to solve this once and for all so please no ifs and buts. I would check for null but I suspect that it is not needed and therefore it is clumsy and inelegant to check. I had searched in the docs but have not found anything
