here is my code.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Calendar calendar=Calendar.getInstance();
Button btn;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.bt);
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY,13);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE,54);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND,1);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY,13);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE,54);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND,1);
setAlarm(calendar.getTimeInMillis());
}
});
}
private void setAlarm(long time) {
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
//getting the alarm manager
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
//creating a new intent specifying the broadcast receiver
Intent i = new Intent(this, MyAlarm.class);
//creating a pending intent using the intent
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, i, 0);
//setting the repeating alarm that will be fired every day
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, time, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES, pi);
Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm is set", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
and here is my service
public class MyAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver{
MediaPlayer mp;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context,Intent intent){
mp=MediaPlayer.create(context,R.raw.song);
mp.start();
}
}

Android alarm manager pending intents lost

This is my first post and I am new to Android App development so please bear with me.
I have written (and use every day) a pretty good reminders App because all the others were either too complicated or too simple. It is also on the play store, although not easy to find, but thats another story.
While I am happy with the whole App the alarms which show a notification or sound an alarm do not always happen. If the alarm is soon then it will but more than say 2 hours from now it often gets missed. Using "adb shell dumpsys alarm" it looks as if they are being discarded?
I have googled for days and have tried so many things, from this forum too, but no luck so I thought I would post some code to see if anybody can please tell me were I am going wrong as it should work as far as I can see.
So here goes.
I use alarm manager to queue the pending intent to call my broadcast receiver which starts a service which starts an activity which creates a notification and optionally sounds an alarm.
I was skipping the service bit but after googling it seems I should use a service. And as mentioned, this works fine for alarms happening soon but not after a few hours or a day or more. Could be due to Doze mode or my app being stopped by Android?
I would really appreciate some help please as I am pulling my hair out!!
Thanks in advance.
Here is my manifest. Where I think the problem is?

Alarmmanager not working after phone reboot

I had created alarmmanager on button click. but it not working after phone reboot. my AlarmbroadcastReceiver not call on phone reboot. it work when phone lock , application killed but not work after phone reboot i had created one progressbar which start on button click and stop after alarm broadcast fired but it not stop when phone reboot. i had added my button click event and broadcast receiver class
Button click event
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
pb1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
progress_edit.putBoolean("progress_one", true);
progress_edit.apply();
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intnt = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmbroadcastReceiver.class);
intnt.setAction("com.ex.Alarm");
PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, intnt, 0);
manager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis() + 120000, pending);
Log.d("Broadcast ","Fired");
}
});
BroadcastReceiver Class
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("inside","broadcast receive");
if(intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase("com.ex.Alarm"))
{
enterSys_progress_edit.putBoolean("progress_one", false);
enterSys_progress_edit.apply();
Toast.makeText(context,"Receive",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
My Manifest file
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.krutarth.alarm">

<application
android:allowBackup="true"

<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>

all alarms are reset when phone restart ,So create a callback on reboot like this
public class BootCompletedIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if ("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction())) {
////// reset your alrarms here
}
}
}
ALSO ADD THIS TO YOUR MANIFEST TO REGISTER THE BROADCAST
<receiver android:name=".receiver.BootCompletedIntentReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Create a method say,
setMyalarm(){
// here set the alarm as u need
}
now call this method setMyAlarm ,whenever and wherever u need to set that particular alarm,whether its on a button click or whether it on a reboot reciever

prefect ans by Ak9637
but didn't forgot to add permisttion of
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

onReceive() function of BroadcastReceiver always called when device is rebooted

My program is implement BroadcastReceiver to setting Alarm. But I got issue : After setting time to alarm, I power off device. After that, I start device and onReceive() function of BroadcastReceiver always call. This is my code :
<receiver android:name="com.futaba.broadcastservice.AlarmBroadCastReceiver"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
How to fix this issue?

Have you read the documentation of BOOT_COMPLETED? It will run when the system is done booting.

Here's what you could do to reschedule your alarm after rebooting.
Code goes on your receiver.
public class AlarmBroadCastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
Context ct;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
ct=context;
if(intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"))
{
Intent contentIntent = new Intent(ct, AlarmBroadCastReceiver.class);
PendingIntent theappIntent = PendingIntent.getService(ct, 0,contentIntent, 0);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(year, month, day, hour,minute);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) ct.getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), theappIntent);
}
}
Just to be sure, you have to declare the uses-permission as follow
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<receiver android:name="com.futaba.broadcastservice.AlarmBroadCastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses-permission>

How to start Alarm Manager on Device Reboot

I've have a simple app to schedule a notification 5 minutes after a button is pressed. It works fine for me. But if I restart the phone within that 5 minutes I don't get the notification. I have done a research on Alarm Manager and Scheduling Notifications on device reboots. I have a basic idea but I really don't know how to implement it into my project. I have 4 classes in my project. They are:
MainActivity
NotificationUtil
NotificationPublisher
NotificationView
This is the my NotificationUtil class:
public class NotificationUtil
{
public static void createNotification(Context context,Class<?> cls, String title, String content)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(context,cls);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
sendNotification(getNotification(pendingIntent,context,title,content),context);
}
private static void sendNotification(Notification notification,Context context)
{
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, NotificationPublisher.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra(NotificationPublisher.NOTIFICATION_ID,1);
notificationIntent.putExtra(NotificationPublisher.NOTIFICATION,notification);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,0,notificationIntent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 5*60 * 1000,pendingIntent);
}
private static Notification getNotification(PendingIntent pendingIntent, Context context, String title, String content)
{
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context,"ChannelID");
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_bell);
builder.setContentTitle(title);
builder.setContentText("You have a Notification");
builder.setSubText("Tap To View");
builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(content));
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
return builder.build();
}
}
This is my NotificationPublisher class:
public class NotificationPublisher extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static String NOTIFICATION_ID = "notification_id";
public static String NOTIFICATION = "notification";
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = intent.getParcelableExtra(NOTIFICATION);
int notificationId = intent.getIntExtra(NOTIFICATION_ID, 1);
notificationManager.notify(notificationId, notification);
}
}
This is how I call the NotificationUtil class on button click in the MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button button;
private Context context;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button = findViewById(R.id.notification);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
NotificationUtil.createNotification(MainActivity.this,NotificationView.class,"Notification","You have a new Task");
}
});
}
}
This is my manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.example.notificationtest">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".NotificationView"
android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity"/>
<receiver android:name=".NotificationPublisher">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<receiver android:name=".DeviceBootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
I have created a new DeviceBootReceiver class:
public class DeviceBootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if(intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"))
{
}
}
}
But I'm not sure what to put in the onReceive function. I tried putting this in the onReceive function
Intent pushIntent = new Intent(context, NotificationPublisher.class);
context.startService(pushIntent);
Works normal, but if I reboot my phone, after 5 minutes I get a message "The Application has stopped working"
I have a basic idea after having gone through these tutorials but I don't know how to implement them into my project
https://www.stacktips.com/tutorials/android/repeat-alarm-example-in-android
https://droidmentor.com/schedule-notifications-using-alarmmanager/
What I need is, to get the notification even after my phone is rebooted. If any one out there who could help me to achieve this, I would be grateful.

you need to create a BroadcastReceiver in order to be able to listen REBOOT event that is delivered by OS and then you can start your alarm manager there again

Well here is a complete example of an AutoStart Application.
Give permission of RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED in manifest file, and register your broadcast for BOOT_COMPLETED.
AndroidManifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="pack.saltriver" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<receiver android:name=".autostart">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity android:name=".hello"></activity>
<service android:enabled="true" android:name=".service" />
</application>
</manifest>
autostart.java
public class autostart extends BroadcastReceiver
{
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1)
{
// This callback will be fired automatically when device starts after boot
// Do your alarm alarm manager work here
}
}
