Try SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()+lngInterval for your second
parameter to setRepeating(). Then add an entry to LogCat using
android.util.Log in wprotatorReciever's onReceive() method to confirm
if you are getting there.
I don't recommend using Toasts from background stuff, alarms and boot
receivers in particular, even for diagnostic stuff. LogCat will be
more safer and less likely to be missed.
