You could encounter that behavior if you registered your BroadcastReceiver via Java, instead of via the manifest. Here is some sample code from one of my books that demonstrates the use of AlarmManager and putting the alarm's BroadcastReceiver in the manifest: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/SystemServices/Alarm That example is somewhat more elaborate, as it demonstrates WakeLock management and delegating long-running work to an IntentService, capabilities your app may or may not need. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Looking for Android opportunities? http://wiki.andmob.org/hado --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
