Re: [android-developers] Gingerbread BroadcastReceiver Issue

Sorry yes I meant 2.3.

This has been out in the code base since the GB code was released, so there will be who knows what devices that ship with it.

The problem is *not* that services are not being restarted, just that their onStartCommand() is not called with null at that time.  The onCreate() method is still called.  As a work-around, you could probably just post a message in onCreate() and set a flag in onStartCommand(); if you haven't received an onStartCommand() by the time the message is processed, then you probably aren't going to get the null Intent call.  (If you need to do this at all...  generally for things like registering receivers, you really really want to do this in onCreate(), since that method is only called once.)

Okay, this did indeed break in 3.3.

Can we assume you meant 2.3?

Furthermore, can I assume that the START_STICKY behavior won't ever work as intended in 2.3? If this is the case what would be the recommended course of action to make sure a service stays running or is restarted after the system kills it? Again I ask because of the HTC issue...
