That's an interesting comment.  I am using an alarm to wake myself every
60 seconds in order to check something.  Are you saying this is not good
practice?

To make this a more practical question: I need to do something 30
minutes before an astronomical event.  I use the alarm manager to send
an intent to a service which checks for the time of that event (depends
upon location and the device might have moved) and to see if we are
within 30 minutes of the event.  If so, it does something.

Are you saying that the alarm manager is not the correct way to do this
since I should not trigger alarms every 60 seconds?
