Let me get this straight... when it installs.. you set an alarm. You also set a flag saying "never ran yet..". The user then runs the app for the first time as you check the first-run flag. At that time..can't you try what Mark said.. cancel the present alarm and then reschedule it so that there is only one? Or.. if you can schedule the alarm on install.. why even worry about a "first run" flag? If it works on install..it's schedule.. so the first time they run it..the installation already took care of the scheduled alarm. What am I missing?
