Background service: attention at a certain time

Hi,

I read the guest post from Jim about background process. Very interesting . Is it possible to utilize the attention class at a certain time with background services? I am asking since i want to develop a time tracker which warns you if a certain amount of time is passed.

it was answered above that requestApplicationWake() doesn't work with watchfaces. the app itself should be responsible for telling the user what the alert is about - if i have two background apps running both with alerts then its the apps & my responsibility to figure out which one alerted, but at least it should be a choice, at the moment its not.

Horsetooth,

This is not implemented in 2.4.3. As of right now we don't have a plan to include this.

Thanks,
