Hello guys, I'm coding a service which does a its job once in every 10 minutes. Works fine. However, when a screen lock gets activated, the service is stopped (which is normal I've found out and I'm find with that). But when the screeen is unlocked again, the 10-minute interval could be already over and I want the service to do the job immediatelly. But... how can I detect that the service was awaken? I schedule the tasks with handler.postAtTime() method. Thanks for answers!

By service, do you mean an actual Service subclass or a background thread (i.e. AsyncTask or Thread object)?

You can use the AlarmManager to schedule a non wakeup timer. It will run periodically when the device is awake, and you will be notified after the device wakes up if your timer expired while the device was asleep.
