You can't do anything when your T> *application* is first installed. First, please forgive (and correct) any incorrect usage of Android terms. In my Application class all I do is override onCreate so that I can initialize ACRA. Any "work" is being done by the widget's broadcast receiver and by an associated service class. When the application is created, it has no shared preferences with pre-existing values. So when the associated service is started it assumes that it has to trigger a notification. It knows if a notification has been triggered already so it doesn't do it again. When the application is recreated I assume that it loses the previous incarnations shared preferences and, therefore, the service doesn't know that it already triggered. Hence, the false trigger when the application is recreated. >> Why would Application.onCreate be invoked by Android after the >> application and widget were already installed and without the user >> doing anything? >> T> That would indicate your process was killed and restarted.

I don't see any reason why I should have been killed. I checked with my user and they are not using a task killer. T> Why do this check in onCreate?
