Thanks a lot for detailed answer! When alarm manager deliver intent to my app, at this time, phone gets wake up and i am thinking to make service call startforeground() and start processing in another thread.
Will this behaviour causes phone light on? I am just looking to do some background processing(some network I/O) and only in some scenario i may post notification which user may choose to see by clicking that notification.But it is not really required to make phone light On. -Amit On Feb 7, 1:42 pm, Kostya Vasilyev <[email protected]> wrote: > 07.02.2011 9:53, Amit пишет: > > > As Kostya wrote: I should be considering that service may be killed in > > extreme condition if OS think. > > And not only under extreme conditions.
