Solution 1:

I don't think you'll drain much power. This broadcast is sent only when level changes by one percent,

For example: 85% -> 86% or 76% -> 75%.

Android OS already tracks battery level (it has to track it in order to shutdown phone when level becomes too low, ~3-5%). So just subscribing to this broadcast shouldn't even be noticeable to the user (in terms of battery performance).
