AlarmManager, BroadcastReceiver and Service not working

Question

I\'m refactoring some code so that my app will pull data from a website once a day at a given time. From my research, it seems like AlarmManager is the most app

Answer 1

You could get AlarmManager to run the Service straight away rather than going through a BroadcastReceiver, if you change your intent like this:

//Change the intent
Intent downloader = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
    downloader.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

//Change to getService()
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, downloader, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);

This may solve your problem!
