Thanks Dianne. Should I be holding a wakelock in the pendingintent receiver of the alarm (basically acquiring at the start of the onReceive() and releasing at the end)? All I am doing in the receiver is setting off a notification - I am not creating any other intents or accessing any other threads or services.
