You can choose to "stop" a BroadcastReceiver either on, say a Button click, or perhaps in the onPause().

For example:

// DECLARED GLOBALLY
BroadcastReceiver receiver;
Intent intentMyService;
ComponentName service;

And in the onCreate():

// FOR THE SERVICE:
intentMyService = new Intent(this, MyGpsService.class);
service = startService(intentMyService);

// FOR THE BROADCASTRECEIVER:
IntentFilter mainFilter = new IntentFilter();
receiver = new MyMainLocalReceiver();
registerReceiver(receiver, mainFilter);

Then to "stop" it, all you have to do, is make a call to this method in either the onPause() or on the click of a Button:

// "STOP" THE BROADCASTRECEIVER
unregisterReceiver(receiver);

// STOP THE SERVICE
stopService(intentMyService);

public class MyActivity extends Activity
{
  private final BroadcastReceiver mybroadcast = new SmsBR();

  public void onResume()
  {
    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
    filter.addAction("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED");
    registerReceiver(mybroadcast, filter);  

  }

  public void onPause()
  {

// add the below line in your button click event

    unregisterReceiver(mybroadcast);
  }
}
