Android : Get state of Alarm Manager

Question

I'm setting an alarm like this:

mgr.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME,SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + PERIOD,PERIOD, pi);

Is there a way to get alarm manager running or not.

Answer 1

You can check if your pending intent triggered is running or not using the following code .

Intent checkIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MyScheduledReceiver.class);
alarmUp = (PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), 0, checkIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE) != null);
