thinking more about this, would this work? suppose someone installs the app, but doesn't run it. then reboots the phone. now I've got the alarm broadcast receiver registered.
then the user launches my app, my app checks the flag and decides that this is the first time it has ever run, so decides to register an alarm. now, I've got two alarms running that will go off at approximately the same time. i guess a solution would be to ignore second alarm when it gets triggered??
