AlarmManager.setExact() starts in wrong time?

问题:

I schedule pendingIntent to be sent in 5 seconds, but it starts in 23 seconds. API=19 (AlarmManager.setExact(...)):

10-23 16:43:44.638  11903-11903/? D/MainActivity﹕ Fri Oct 23 16:43:44 GMT+05:00 2015: scheduled in 5000 ms
10-23 16:44:07.728  11903-11903/? D/MainActivity﹕ Fri Oct 23 16:44:07 GMT+05:00 2015: fired

private PendingIntent pendingIntent;
    private int SCHEDULE_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
    private static final String SCHEDULER_ACTION = "android.intent.action.FOTA_SCHEDULE_CHECK";

    private void log(String message) {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        sb.append(new Date().toString());
        sb.append(": ");
        sb.append(message);
        sb.append("\n");

        Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), sb.toString());
        tv.append(sb.toString());

        tv.append("\n");
    }

    private BroadcastReceiver schedulerReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            log("fired");
        }
    };

    private void schedule() {
        registerReceiver(schedulerReceiver, new IntentFilter(SCHEDULER_ACTION));

        Intent scheduleIntent = new Intent(SCHEDULER_ACTION);
        pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, SCHEDULE_REQUEST_CODE, scheduleIntent, 0);

        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) this.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

        // first invocation (once, exact)
        int delay = 5 * 1000; // 5s
        log("scheduled in " + delay + " ms");
        alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis() + delay, pendingIntent);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();

        unschedule();
    }

    private void unschedule() {
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);

        pendingIntent = null;

        unregisterReceiver(schedulerReceiver);
    }

I'v got the same problem, but pendingIntent start after 5 seconds, not 2 as i try to set.

alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis() + 2 * 1000, pIntent);

If i set 5 seconds and more, alarmManager starts exactly. I don't know what inexatly interval i'll get in production environment, so i choose 1 minute as short time interval.

So, my app used postDelayed() instead of AlarmManager for the short time intervals, and AlarmManager for long.

Code sample:

if (delay == 0) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(context, SoundService.class);
    intent.putExtra(SoundService.SOUND, sound);
    context.startService(intent);
} else if (delay <= 60) {
    (new Handler()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            Intent intent = new Intent(context, SoundService.class);
            intent.putExtra(SoundService.SOUND, sound);
            context.startService(intent);
        }
    }, delay * 1000);
} else if (delay > 60) {
    final int SDK_INT = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmBroadcastReceiver.class);
    intent.setAction("action_play: " + sound);
    intent.putExtra(SoundService.SOUND, sound);
    PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
    AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    long runTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + delay * 1000;
    if (SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, runTime, pIntent);
    } else if ((SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) && (SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M)) {
        alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, runTime, pIntent);
    } else if (SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        alarmManager.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, runTime, pIntent);
    }
}

Where SoundService - Service with sound playing functionality, delay - delay before playing, in seconds, AlarmBroadcastReceiver -

public class AlarmBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
final String LOG_TAG = this.getClass().getName();

@Override
public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent intent) {
    if (intent.getAction().startsWith("action_play:")){
        Intent playIntent = new Intent(ctx, SoundService.class);
        playIntent.putExtra(SoundService.SOUND, intent.getStringExtra(SoundService.SOUND));
        ctx.startService(playIntent);
    }
}

}
