Receive BroadCast Events

I'm new to Adobe AIR. I've done lots of JAVA development for Android.

I'm wondering if Adobe AIR applications can receive BroadCast Events the way a java based receiver can. 

http://developer.android.com/intl/de/reference/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.html

In particular, I'm interested in the INSTALL_REFERRER event to track installs.

  <receiver android:name="com.ccompany. " android:exported="true">

    <intent-filter>

      <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />

    </intent-filter>

Thanks to anyone who can tell me if such a thing is possible or if I am just wasting my time trying.
