I'm not sure if the second argument in the onReceive() method is the intent from Activity. Its the AlarmManager who's firing up the receiver, not your activity. If i'm right, my mind has only one solution for your problem - file stored externally, containing your alarm's start time. It goes like this: <ol> <li><code>Activity</code>: <pre><code>// Remember about adding // <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> // in your manifest xml File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/yourAppsName", ".alarmStartTime"); try { BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file.getAbsolutePath(), true)); out.write(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()); out.close(); } catch (IOException e) { Toast.makeText(this.getApplicationContext(), "Problem", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } </code></pre></li> <li><code>BroadcastReceiver</code>: <pre><code>File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/yourAppsName", "alarmStartTime.txt"); String content = ""; try { content = new Scanner(file).useDelimiter("\\Z").next(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { Toast.makeText(this.getApplicationContext(), "Problem", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } Log.i("", "Alarm Running for " + (SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - Long.decode(content))); </code></pre></li> </ol> Although, its a cpu and battery killer if you'd run it every 2 seconds;) Tell me again why can't you use this static variable? If you have specific interval between alarms, number of iterations can simply inform you about life span of the receiver.

1. COI can, and since this is only for testing purposes it really doesn't matter how I implement it;) I simply asked the question out of curiosity and at this time I have no need to implement a solution other than the static var.. this is not generally an acceptable solution because of 'overkill' but +1 for viable solution

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
