22 /**
23  * This class provides access to the system alarm services.  These allow you
24  * to schedule your application to be run at some point in the future.  When
25  * an alarm goes off, the {@link Intent} that had been registered for it
26  * is broadcast by the system, automatically starting the target application
27  * if it is not already running.  Registered alarms are retained while the
28  * device is asleep (and can optionally wake the device up if they go off
29  * during that time), but will be cleared if it is turned off and rebooted.
30  *
31  * <p>The Alarm Manager holds a CPU wake lock as long as the alarm receiver's
32  * onReceive() method is executing. This guarantees that the phone will not sleep
33  * until you have finished handling the broadcast. Once onReceive() returns, the
34  * Alarm Manager releases this wake lock. This means that the phone will in some
35  * cases sleep as soon as your onReceive() method completes.  If your alarm receiver
36  * called {@link android.content.Context#startService Context.startService()}, it
37  * is possible that the phone will sleep before the requested service is launched.
38  * To prevent this, your BroadcastReceiver and Service will need to implement a
39  * separate wake lock policy to ensure that the phone continues running until the
40  * service becomes available.
41  *
42  * <p><b>Note: The Alarm Manager is intended for cases where you want to have
43  * your application code run at a specific time, even if your application is
44  * not currently running.  For normal timing operations (ticks, timeouts,
45  * etc) it is easier and much more efficient to use
46  * {@link android.os.Handler}.</b>
47  *
48  * <p>You do not
49  * instantiate this class directly; instead, retrieve it through
50  * {@link android.content.Context#getSystemService
51  * Context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE)}.
