AlarmManager doesn't works properly

Question

I programatically set fire AlarmManager every 10 seconds, This code works on all devices except the one I relly need.

On this device it calls every 60 seconds

Question: is there any limitation/configuration settings ?

alarmMgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), 10000, alarmIntent);

If you need an interval that short, you shouldn't be using `AlarmManager`. And, yes, newer Android versions will force a minimum interval of 60 seconds. — Mike M., Feb 08 '17 at 11:08
thanks! I have root for this device, may I change this minimum ? — Sergey, Feb 08 '17 at 11:13
If you need such short interval, just use the `ScheduledExecutorService` — jakubbialkowski, Feb 08 '17 at 13:33

You can use Handler or Executors or TimerTask

As mentioned on https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html newer android OS versions will mess up with your intervals. If you need exact timing you should use SetWindow or SetExact
