Android : android>>broadcastReciver onRecive method what context passes?

i am trying to figure out what is the context that is passed int the onRecive method of a broadcast reciver:

public void onReceive (Context context, Intent intent)
{
}

I tried to look in the documentaiton but it is saying: context- The Context in which the receiver is running. android onRecive documentation

what is the context if it comes from parse.com?
