Abstract

A method of coordinating tasks of a mobile computing device may include initializing a timer associated with one or more tasks and a state condition. The state condition may depend on a device state of the mobile computing device and/or a component state of a mobile computing device component. An expiration of the timer is detected. Upon detecting the expiration, a determination is made whether the state condition is satisfied based on whether the mobile computing device is in the device state and/or the mobile computing device component is in the component state. Based at least in part on the determination that the state condition is satisfied, performance of the one or more tasks associated with the timer can be initiated.
