Hi, I would like to restart my application after the user set his/her preferences (restart() method of my MyApplication class will be invoked). I am using an AlarmManager to start my application right after I kill it. I have no idea why my BroadcastReceiver is never called. Anyone can advise on how I can resolve this? Thanks.

public void restart() {
// Setup one-short alarm to restart my application in 3 seconds
AlarmManager alarmMgr=(AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i=new Intent(context, RestartProcessor.class);
PendingIntent pi=PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0);
alarmMgr.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+3000, pi);

// Kill my application
ActivityManager actmgr=(ActivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
actmgr.restartPackage("com.MyApplication");
}


public class RestartProcessor extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
ActivityManager actmgr=(ActivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
try {
Intent i = new Intent(context, MyApplication.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startService(i);
} catch (Exception e) {}
}
}

Hi csengyee,
I see that this is an old topic, but I'm trying to solve similar problem. Seems your code is right except using context that you close on next line of code. So solution should be use another Context to start intent right? So any solution, cause I can't find anyone ... thanks
