Even with missing information I feel it is related to https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins/pull/810

instead of depending on alarm manager, it would be probably better to use Work Manager as it's preffered way of scheduling tasks on Android right now

[miquelbeltran]

I mean, no. AlarmManager has a place (wanting to run a task at a precise time, e.g. an actual alarm) and WorkManager is more to schedule work in the background without worrying too much on when it is going to be done.

Now, on Flutter and given how flaky the plugin is, I would simply avoid using either if possible.

@charafau Just no! See the docs for when to use WorkManager and when to use AlarmManager. AlarmManager has its place and is the only option to fight Doze Mode without internet connection.

Regarding the flakiness, just be aware of #1149, then when taking care of it, the plugin is reliable! Just use the right alarm type for your use case.

You're right, I misread the docs. I was pretty sure that the work manager had a special API for alarm manager like tasks. Thanks 👍
