Well the underlying problem there is these #$#$#!! apps abusing that API. I so regret having made that available. I should have realized it was a bad idea, because it violates a very basic tenant: one application should not be able to disrupt the behavior of another. Anyway, if possible it would be great if you chould tell your users that their task killer app is causing their problems. And it's not going to just cause problems with alarms: it will unpost any notifications you have, stop services you have running, etc. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
