Today my alarm went off five minutes late. Given it was never late before doze mode I assume it's the culprit again

I've read up on it

How do I use this API instead?

Based on the documentation it should wake up the device: https://developer.android.com/refer...ileIdle(int, long, android.app.PendingIntent)

You can use this code to call AlarmManager.setAlarmClock. It will show an alarm indicator in the status bar.
B4X:
Sub SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle (Time As Long, ServiceName As String)
   Dim p As Phone
   If p.SdkVersion < 23 Then
     StartServiceAtExact(ServiceName, Time, True)
   Else
     Dim in As Intent
     in.Initialize("", "")
     in.SetComponent(Application.PackageName & "/." &  ServiceName.ToLowerCase)
     Dim ctxt As JavaObject
     ctxt.InitializeContext
     Dim am As JavaObject = ctxt.RunMethod("getSystemService", Array("alarm"))
     Dim pi As JavaObject
     pi = pi.InitializeStatic("android.app.PendingIntent").RunMethod("getService", _
     Array(ctxt, 1, in, 134217728))
     Dim amc As JavaObject
     amc.InitializeNewInstance("android.app.AlarmManager$AlarmClockInfo", Array( _
       Time, Null))
     am.RunMethod("setAlarmClock", Array(amc, pi))
   End If
End Sub

Hi

I'm using Erel's code to add the alarm indicator in the status bar:

Dim amc AsJavaObject
amc.InitializeNewInstance("android.app.AlarmManager$AlarmClockInfo", Array(Time, Null))
am.RunMethod("setAlarmClock", Array(amc, pi))

What code do I use to remove that indicator ?

Thanks

I know. Their ideas about security are a little to obsessive. They removed the ability for third party apps to answer phone calls, and made it so only one app can handle SMS messages, which neutered a popular dialer program I made....
