Schedule AlarmManager Android

Solution

  • Tip for a case when user reboots his phone. You can declare BroadcastReceiver with the following intent-filter:

    <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>

    and re-schedule your alarm in onReceive(...) of your receiver class. Intent will be delivered to the receiver after user reboots his phone. Don't forget to add the following permission to your manifest file:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

    Or you can use the library that will handle such cases for you: https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-wakeful
