How to create a new intent for another application broadcast receiver?

Question

In the examples, they create an Intent as:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);

But suppose my AlarmReceiver class is in another application, how do I create this intent?

I tried with

new Intent("com.app.AlarmReceiver")

but nothing happens .. It was not called ..

Any idea?

- Advanced definition added using manifest editor on Eclipse:

<receiver android:name="AlarmReceiver"></receiver>
</application>
