I have a code that sets a new repeating alarm (on production I'll use
a inexactRepeating), but the BroadCastReceiver I've registered for
handling it is not being called.
Here is the code where I set the alarm:
////////////////////////////
long newAlarmPeriod = 5000; // For debugging
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(this, GroupsCheckAlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,
Constants.CHECK_ALARM_CODE,
alarmIntent, 0);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()
+ newAlarmPeriod, newAlarmPeriod, sender);
//////////////////////////////
It seems to work and it triggers and alarm every five seconds, as seen
in the output of "adb shell dumpsys alarm":
/////////////////////////////////
DUMP OF SERVICE alarm:

///////////////////////////////////
But for some reason my BroadCastReceiver is not being called when the
alarm is triggered. I've declared it on the Manifest:
//////////////////////////////
<receiver android:name=".GroupsCheckAlarmReceiver" />
/////////////////////////////////
And this is the abbreviated code of the BroadCastReceiver:
///////////////////////////////////
public class GroupsCheckAlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "XXX Alarm worked.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d("XXX", "GroupsCheckAlarmReceiver.onReceive");
}
