3 Implicit broadcast removed:

1: CONNECTIVITY_ACTION Action for broadcast removed: 
Mobile devices experience frequent connectivity changes, such as when moving between Wi-Fi and mobile data. Currently, apps can monitor for changes in connectivity by registering a receiver for the implicitCONNECTIVITY_ACTION broadcast in their manifest. Since many apps register to receive this broadcast, a single network switch can cause them all to wake up and process the broadcast at once.
Apps targeting Android N do not receive CONNECTIVITY_ACTION broadcasts, even if they have manifest entries to request notification of these events. Apps running in the foreground can still listen forCONNECTIVITY_CHANGE on their main thread if they request notification with a BroadcastReceiver.
2: ACTION_NEW_PICTURE Action for broadcast removed: 
3: ACTION_NEW_VIDEO Action for broadcast removed: 

apps can register to receive implicit ACTION_NEW_PICTURE and ACTION_NEW_VIDEO broadcasts from other apps, such as Camera. When a user takes a picture with the Camera app, these apps wake up to process the broadcast.apps can register to receive implicit ACTION_NEW_PICTURE and ACTION_NEW_VIDEO broadcasts from other apps, such as Camera. When a user takes a picture with the Camera app, these apps wake up to process the broadcast.

Apps cannot send or receive ACTION_NEW_PICTURE or ACTION_NEW_VIDEO broadcasts. This optimization affects all apps, not only those targeting Android N.

4: Point to be taken care : 
If your app uses any of these intents, you should remove dependencies on them as soon as possible so that you can target Android N devices properly. The Android framework provides several solutions to mitigate the need for these implicit broadcasts. For example, the JobScheduler API provides a robust mechanism to schedule network operations when specified conditions, such as connection to an unmetered network, are met. You can even use JobScheduler to react to changes to content providers.
