WakefulBroadcastReceiver is not working on Android 6.0

1.3k views Asked by At

I want to implement a background task in my android application. For Android 5.0 and lower, my code suffices with a simple BroadcastReceiver, where I can easily set an repeating alarm with

setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000 * seconds, pendingIntent);

On Android 6.0, however, I found out to replace my BroadcastReceiver with WakefulBroadcastReceiver and

setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), pendingIntent);

It is still not working at all and I don't know what my mistake is..

Here my code:

    public class AlarmManagerBroadcastReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {

       @Override
       public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

           mContext = context;

           PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
           PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "YOUR TAG");
           //Acquire the lock
           wl.acquire();

           callback = new GPSActivityCallback() {...}
           if(isConnectedToInternet()) {
              gpsService = new GPSService(callback, context);
              gpsService.refreshLocation();
              Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
              StringBuilder msgStr = new StringBuilder();

              if (extras != null && extras.getBoolean(REPEAT, Boolean.FALSE)) {
                 //Make sure this intent has been sent by the one-time timer button.
              }
              Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a");
              msgStr.append(formatter.format(new Date()));
           }
           else {
              Toast.makeText(context, "Internetverbindung wurde unterbrochen", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
              Log.d("INTERNET_TAG","Internetverbindung war kurrzeitig getrennt");
           }
           wl.release();

        public void SetAlarm(Context context) {
            AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
            Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmManagerBroadcastReceiver.class);
            intent.putExtra(REPEAT, Boolean.FALSE);
            PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);

            if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 23){
                if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19){
                    am.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), pi);
                }
                else{
                    am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), pi);
                }
            }
            else{
                am.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), pi);
            }
            am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000 * 10, pi);
        }

        public boolean isConnectedToInternet(){...}
     }

This is my Manifest:
