There are three "channels", if you will, on the Intent message bus: -- starting activities (Activity) -- starting services (Service) -- sending broadcasts (BroadcastReceiver) ACTION_TIME_CHANGED is a broadcast action (as indicated in the docs). That can only be received by a BroadcastReceiver. It cannot be received by a service. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
