In former exercises, it have been shown how to "
Send SMS using android.telephony.SmsManager" and "
A simple example of Alarm Service, using AlarmManager".
It's a exercise merge them together, start a alarm service in a pre-defined time (10 second), and send SMS using SmsManager inside service when time reached.
In the main activity, data can be passed as bundle as normal.
But there are no getIntent().getExtras() in Service class! It can be retrieved in onStart() call-back method, it will be passed as parameter.
