AppWidgetProvider *is* a broadcast receiver, so you can handle your alarm actions right there.
Some broadcasts can't be received by declaring intent filters in the manifest, I believe battery state is one of those. No such limitation with your own alarm action, though, so there isn't a chicken and egg (= service and receiver) issue here, as for the battery broadcast. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 04.02.2011 1:57 пользователь "Jeffrey" <[email protected]> написал: > One question on AlarmManager, the examples I'm seeing all say to set > up a broadcast receiver, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose using > alarmmanager to prevent running a BroadcastReceiver in a service?
