Answer 1

Here you can find how to register for battery changes. Using the extra value ( EXTRA_TEMPERATURE), you can get the temperature.

In short (taken from the link above and slightly modified):

Declare Broadcast Receiver:

private BroadcastReceiver mBatInfoReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver(){
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent intent) {
      int temperature = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_TEMPERATURE, 0);
      ....
    }
  };

and in onCreateadd:

this.registerReceiver(this.mBatInfoReceiver, 
new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED));
