How do I retrieve Intent Extras within a Service started by an AlarmManager schedule?

Question

public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    int idFunc = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(SPREF_NAME,Context.MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("idFunc", 0);
    String SecKey = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(SPREF_NAME,Context.MODE_PRIVATE).getString("chave", null);
    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ServiceEnviaClientes.class);
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putString("SecKey", SecKey);
    bundle.putInt("idFunc", idFunc);
    intent.putExtras(bundle);
    PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);
    AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis(), 10*60000, pintent);
    initImageLoader(this);
}

I'm trying to pass extras provided by SharedPrefereces from an AlarmManager Intent and retrieve it within the Service, instead of access my SharedPreferences while the Service is running which I think demands more memory.

 @Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
    Toast.makeText(this,"task perform in service",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
    mIdFunc = bundle.getInt("idFunc");
    mSecKey = bundle.getString("SecKey");
    ThreadJSONBuild td=new ThreadJSONBuild();
    td.start();
    Log.d(TAG, "onStartCommand cycle, idFunc: "+mIdFunc+" , SecKey: "+mSecKey);
    return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}

but I'm getting null on mSecKey and 0 on idFunc. I'm not sure if it's the best option, I'd put my SharedPreferences retrieves inside Service's onCreate() method, but not sure really.

When you call

PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 0,
    intent, 0);

you may be getting back an existing PendingIntent that doesn't have your extras in it. You should use

PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 0,
    intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

instead. This will ensure that your extras are put in the Intent. Be aware, however, that the extras will be replaced in all users of this PendingIntent.
