Re: [android-developers] Background services and notifications.

Hi,

I updated my app to set a repeating alarm that starts the service every 5 mins.

I checked this and it fired every 5 mins throughout the day without missing.

The service OnStartCommand code runs which calls getLastKnownLocation and triggers the Activity to update through a listener if its running.

I also added a startActivity to open my Activity it the requirement is met.

This works OK if the phone is awake but not if the phone is asleep.

I changed it to an alarm, fired immediately with my Activity as the PendingIntent.

I use:-

Intent i = new Intent(getBaseContext(), Finder.class);

i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getActivity(getBaseContext(), 0, i, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 1);

alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), mAlarmSender);

The log says

Starting activity: Intent{flg=0x10000004 cmp=edam.Finder/.Finder (has extras)}

Something wrong here, didn't expect edam.Finder to be paused

onResume

onPause

Then it looks like it returns to the service running every 5 mins as expected.

The phone never wakes up.

Any ideas?
