CampaignTrackingReceiver

  • CampaignTrackingReceiver is a BroadcastReceiver that tracks app installations from the Google Play Store with campaign data.

  • When an app is installed from the Google Play Store via a link with campaign data, Google Play broadcasts an INSTALL_REFERRER intent, which this receiver handles.

  • The CampaignTrackingReceiver passes the campaign data from the install referrer intent to Google Analytics.

  • To enable installation campaign reporting, register CampaignTrackingReceiver in your AndroidManifest.xml file.

  • If using Google Tag Manager, only the Google Tag Manager receiver needs to be enabled as it will automatically invoke the Google Analytics receiver.

Known Direct Subclasses

Google Analytics receiver for com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER. Google Play will broadcast the intent when an app is installed from the Google Play Store and has campaign data available (i.e. the app was installed from a link to the Google Play Store). This BroadcastReceiver registers for that Intent and passes the campaign data to Google Analytics.

To enable installation campaign reporting register CampaignTrackingReceiver in your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<manifest>
   <application>
     <!-- ... -->

     <receiver android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingReceiver"
         android:enabled="true">
         <intent-filter>
             <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
         </intent-filter>
     </receiver>

     <!-- ... -->
   </application>
 </manifest>
Only one receiver can receive the install referrer setting. If Google Tag Manager is being used by the application, then only the Google Tag Manager receiver needs to be enabled. The Google Tag Manager receiver will invoke the Google Analytics receiver automatically.
