Android AlarmManager not firing after Google Play update

alarmmanager, android

Solution

Check out the ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED intent action (on honeycomb and up).

You should be able to register a broadcast receiver for it in the manifest that can then reschedule your alarms.

Problem

I've created an App reminding people to take madications on time. Every time, after I place a new APK on the Google Play, I get many complaints the alarm doesn't work anymore. It begins working again only after the user starts the App (or reboots). Help!
