Mark,
It doesn't seem to consume battery. I've tried several solutions and
only yours is really working.
Before I used a regular service with a AlarmManager.set(...) to
schedule service run every minute.
It worked fine on emulator (even when killing the service) but on real
devices it failed often.
I mean sometimes the Alarm did no go off after a few hours. That's why
I tried your solution based on AlarmManager.setRepeating(...).
What do you think about it ?
