Cron Jobs in android which defy deep sleep

[divine_dev]

I'm developing an app which will do a specific task at 12:00AM everyday. I tried using Handler's postDelayed() but when I device goes into deep sleep it increases the delay. What the best to do this job. Thanks

I think an alarm might be the right tool for the job?

AlarmManager is good idea, should I run it in setAndAllowWhileIdle() to count even in deep sleep?

Unfortunately I'm not actually a dev (just loosely familiar with the documentation) so I probably won't be able to help with actually implementing it. Maybe someone else will be able to assist you.

Sure, thanks for the heads up though.
