I am developing a gps tracking for Android i want my application to start when the phone boots up and send gps coordonates from 10 in 10 minutes.
Do i need to use a service or an AlarmManager broadcast receiver can do the job ?

Prefer the AlarmManager over the service if your frequency of getting the geo co-ordinates is much lesser say 1 location in few miutes…
Otherwise if your frequency is much higher say for every 20/30 seconds then prefer service because AlarmManager is quite heavy in the case of few seconds to remind…
