That's the thing, it has to be short intervals in between scans since this has almost real-time implications, no greater than 15 secs at most, so I dunno how AlarmManager would fit into the equation. Is there any chance you can show me how to modify the above code to utilize AlarmManager to have it sleep before the onReceive gets called again?
