Hello.
I'm thinking about implementing an Alarm which starts up a little CheckupService which checks if another WorkService (on which I rely on) is still available or not. This checkup consists of one sent broadcast and sometimes restarting the WorkService. (perhaps a few ms of work) What is the right way to do this as less battery draining as possible? At the moment I have set the Alarm to check every 10 minutes. But in my case it would be more useful to check everytime the screen goes off. Could someone please tell me how battery draining this would be? I'm looking forward reading your answers. Thank you for your help. PS: I know that keeping a service "always on" is not the right way to react on something. But incoming calls do not send a Broadcast so I have to rely on a background service monitoring the telephony state and can not use a BroadcastReceiver. (and the users know about that fact and accept it for the added feature of LED notifications on missed calls :-) ) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
