I am using PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreference. I am
committing my preferences when my Service (not the widget receiver but
the Service that is started by the widget receiver) is destroyed and I
read the preferences when the Service is created. One of the saved
pieces of data stores whether the notification had already been
triggered. Since the getDefaultSharedPreference method takes a context,
is it possible that when the Application is recreated there is a new
context so my saved preferences are lost? That would explain why the
notification is re-triggered when the Application is created a second
time.
