As it turns out it appears that those are sent every time the phone updates its time form the cell tower (several times a day) so if you register for TIME_ZONE_CHANGED you can use it to reschedule your tasks automatically on next event. It is not perfect but it works. (This is what we use in BeyondPod podcatcher) I did this too The problem is that it may never be called if a user doesn't use automatic time updates. Until cupcake is available i fixed it by storing the version string as a preference and told my users to start the app once after updating it. In case the stored version doesn't match the current version i do re- register. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Re-register AlarmManager events on upgrades
Hi I have the same problem. As far as I know the only way is to set a Service to start after the installation is done. Maybe you can put a service that runs once (not really a service hehe) that it will be initiated after the installation is complete, set up the alarms and end the service. Other thing you can do is to react to the android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED so next time the user reboots the phone you can re-register the alarms. Hope it helps.

Fwiw, cupcake will add a new field to PACKAGE_ADDED to tell you if this was due to an update, and allow this broadcast to be received by the app to restart itself.
