WorkManager API for Exact time execution [duplicate]

Question

I want to send offline notification to user periodically at exact time (assume daily 9:00 AM). Right now I was trying workmanager Api but not able to find any method like AlarmsManager's setExact or setexactandallowwhileidle.

Only repeatInterval option is there that will be 24 (daily) in my case but how to send notification at exact time (9 : 00 am) .

Answer 1

WorkManager isn't a replacement for AlarmManager. For your use case, AlarmManager sounds like the right solution. WorkManager is for deferrable tasks, not for executation of tasks at an exact time or while the system is in a low-power, idle mode such as doze mode.
