Reminder for S40 Phone

Question

S40 does not allow running the application in the background. This is the only solution - use PushRegistry.registerAlarm.

I'm trying to create a reminder, so when it works, it should make the phone vibrate and make noise, but, unfortunately, I get a small message saying "Reminder: application name", and the soft key is set to "Open". When it opens, it creates noise and vibrations (or it will, now I'm just testing with a simple TextBox).

Is there a way to get PushRegistry.registerAlarm to actually open my application and not wait for another confirmation?

Or do you know another way to make an application in the background on the S40?

Thanks!

According to the link provided by Bogdan Piloka, there is a known problem with the entire version of S40: from the 2nd to the 6th edition:

Even if the MIDlet is signed and the auto start options are set to Always enabled , the request is submitted to the user.

I guess on S40 PushRegistry won't help you

See the link from the Nokia forum. This page also mentioned that there is no workaround for this situation. Too bad for us, as we also plan to have such functionality.
