Either acquire a wake lock, or use alarm manager with a pending intent and a broadcast receiver. You might still need a wake lock in the second case so that the phone doesn't sleep immediately after the alarm is processed by your receiver.

I have created a custom timer class that gets created from the main activity when needed, because its able to have multiple countdowns running at the same time. Am I right in thinking that the handler just gets paused when the screen goes off and if so what are my alternatives. The activity is still in the foreground and I assumed the handler would still fire if the screen goes off. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
