title: Using timed events in BlackBerry
body: <p>is it possible to fire up an event at a specified time interval in BlackBerry? I'm looking for something similar to AlarmManager class in Android (if anyone is familiar with it).</p>
  
  <p>The goal is to is to run some code, even when the application is not in foreground and without it gaining foreground "focus". Preferably it should be possible to fire the event even if the app was killed by system or by phone reboot (I do not know the details about killing apps at this OS, I'm beginning development now).</p>
  
  <p>I would prefer not to write a background process for this task as it is going to be fired every few hours (I think it would be a waste of battery to use a background task for a simple alarm-like event).</p>
  
  <p>I've looked around a lot, but I cannot find any satisfying solution.</p>
  
  <p>cheers,</p>
