Thanks for your reply. I have all that set up. The thing is that if an user kills my app/ service with a task killer app, then my alarm would go away.
I would like to be able to do a check about whether I have a alarm ready to go off at some point in the future. I do not want to re-set the alarm if I know that one is already in place. Something like: AlarmManager mgr =(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); if (mgr(with my pending intent).isActive()) { //all is good } Thanks, Alberto On Sep 10, 11:38 am, Kostya Vasilyev <kmans...@gmail.com> wrote: > Setting an alarm cancels any previous alarms set with the same pending > intent, where "same" has a certain definition. > > This means that it's OK to set your alarm if it's already set - this will > not result in extraneous events. > > For initializing the alarm in the first place, implement a broadcast > receiver for BOOT_COMPLETED. > > -- > Kostya Vasilyev --http://kmansoft.wordpress.com > > 10.09.2010 13:39 пользователь "Albert" <albert8...@googlemail.com> написал: > > Anyone?
