I'm starting the AlarmManager from a BOOT_RECEIVED broadcast and it works like a charm. I've noticed, however, that it requires a restart to take effect because it's triggered from a broadcast. In light of this I also start the AlarmManager from the onCreate() of my activity so that the user doesn't have to restart their phones, in this case it doesn't really work.
I've read that Alarms/Services set from the Activity are destroyed when the Activity is. Is there some way around this? Perhaps have the Activity bounce a Broadcast off something such that the Service is not directly created from the Activity and thus doesn't get destroyed?
