ConnectivityManager.getBackgroundDataSetting() is no-longer functioning

[LiliWeiSE]

Hi,

I found that in PodcastService.java, ConnectivityManager.getBackgroundDataSetting() is still in use. However, this API has been deprecated since API 14 and afterwards it will always return true. So this check actually is not functioning as the minSDK is now set to 16.

An alternative way to implement the functionality is to use getActiveNetworkInfo() and check wether the return value is null.

Hope this could help. :)

Also, it is used in AbstractAlarmService.java. Now the checking is just equivalent to if (false)

@frankFic Sorry for not responding before now. I will take a look at if this is actually important, or just legacy code. Thanks
