Android does PendingIntent die after performing action?

Question

A simple question, but I cannot find an answer.

Is Android PendingIntent still alive in system after performing it's action (sendBroadcast, startService etc.)?

If so, what is most efficient way to kill it - with cancel() or put FLAG_ONE_SHOT during creation?

Answer 1

Ok, got it. @CommonsWare is right. When I put FLAG_ONE_SHOT - PendingIntent kills itself after performing an action. But in such case I wasn't able to check if this PendingIntent is registered in system.

Finally I used myPendingIntent.cancel().
