Evernote Android-Job clears alarms when app is killed

Question

I'm using the Evernote Android-Job to schedule notifications using the setExact method which uses Alarm Manager internally. Now the problem is when the app is killed all pending alarms are killed and are rescheduled when app opens.

Here's the official doc: https://github.com/evernote/android-job/blob/master/FAQ.md#why-arent-my-periodic-jobs-running-as-expected-on-android-5-or-higher

How can I user GCM Network Manager or Firebase Job Dispatcher to meet my requirements

Now is there any work around for this using the same library or should I consider using other ones?

I don't think you need a Evernote for simple Alarm.. Use only `AlarmManager` — VinayagaSundar, Jun 25 '17 at 04:10

The library will reschedule the job (what means creating a new alarm for exact jobs) as soon as it gets a chance. E.g. after force closing the app, then alarm is created again after the user started the app again. After restarting the device the alarm is also created again.

Turns out it happens only on One Plus 3 and 3T devices which run on 7.1.1, don't know about the earlier versions – Veeresh Charantimath Jul 14 '17 at 06:52
