[android-beginners] alarm manager confusion

[Jeffrey Blattman]

i want to schedule a repeating task. i start my app, and register with alarm manager (repeating). all is fine, as long as my app is in memory. if i for example press back to remove my app from the stack, i no longer receive alarms. same thing if i manually kill the app. is this correct? my understanding is that once the alarm is scheduled, it repeats regardless of the state of the app. --
