Scheduled Android Notification push on startup

I am developing the schedule notification for Android. It is successfully get notification at scheduled time but also get notification at the time when the application startup which I do not want. Here are my codes.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
prefs= PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
show = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
View btn_failure = findViewById(R.id.btn_failure_id);
btn_failure.setOnClickListener(this);
View btn_unhappy = findViewById(R.id.btn_unhappy_id);
btn_unhappy.setOnClickListener(this);
View btn_chicken_soup = findViewById(R.id.btn_soup_id);
btn_chicken_soup.setOnClickListener(this);
View btn_no_motivation = findViewById(R.id.btn_no_id);
btn_no_motivation.setOnClickListener(this);
// createScheduledNotification(9,0);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
time = prefs.getString("noti", "9:00");
String[] pieces=time.split(":");
hour = Integer.parseInt(pieces[0]);
minute = Integer.parseInt(pieces[1]);
boolean onOff = prefs.getBoolean("noti_10",true);
createScheduleNotification(hour,minute,onOff);
}
public void createScheduleNotification(int hour, int minute, boolean onOff){
if(onOff){
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) MainActivity.this.getSystemService(MainActivity.this.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, getPendingIntent(this));
}else{
AlarmManager mgr=(AlarmManager)this.getSystemService(this.ALARM_SERVICE);
mgr.cancel(getPendingIntent(this));
}
}
private PendingIntent getPendingIntent(Context ctxt) {
Intent intent1 = new Intent(ctxt, TimeAlarm.class);
intent1.putStringArrayListExtra("quotes",quote_chicken_soup);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ctxt, 0,intent1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
return pendingIntent;
}
public class TimeAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
private String daily_quote = "testing";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent paramIntent) {
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context,DisplayActivity.class);
intent.putStringArrayListExtra("quote",paramIntent.getStringArrayListExtra("quotes"));
daily_quote = paramIntent.getStringArrayListExtra("quotes").get(0);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 1, intent, 0);
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(context);
builder.setAutoCancel(true);
builder.setTicker("Daily Quote");
builder.setContentTitle("Daily Quote");
builder.setContentText(daily_quote);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
builder.setSubText("Be Happy! Have a nice day!"); //API level 16
}
Notification myNotication = builder.getNotification();
manager.notify(11, myNotication);
}
}
Where is the problem that cause the notification being push when app startup?

There seems nothing wrong in your code.
Issue with notification being pushed up at startup is surely because of AlarmManager code.
From your code snippet, I hard coded the setting of time as below, and it runs as expected . First time it triggers in one minute after the system clock and then every 2 minutes there after.
// first time set to-- trigger after one minute from now
long firstTimeTriggerAt = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 1000 * 60 * 1;
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) MainActivity.this.getSystemService(MainActivity.this.ALARM_SERVICE);
//Repeat the alaram every two minutes
long interval = 1000 * 60 * 2;
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,firstTimeTriggerAt, interval, getPendingIntent(this));
So you need to check the constant values for time, which you are setting in Shared preference.
Just FYI , the code runs well with RTC_WAKEUP constant also.
Hope this helps.

in onResume() change
boolean onOff = prefs.getBoolean("noti_10",true);
to
boolean onOff = prefs.getBoolean("noti_10",false);

Multiple Notifications not showing in android

In my android app I'm willing to show multiple notifications on a particular day,for this I'm using Alarm Manager and Broadcast Receiver problem is when I used alarm it worked fine but when I add notification builder to show the notification its not working
Here is my mainActivity
public static final String ACTION_ONE = "Hello, Test Message 1";
public static final String ACTION_TWO = "Hello, Test Message 2";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
AlarmManager alarmManager1 = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent myIntent1 = new Intent(this, AlarmBroadCustReciver.class);
myIntent1.setAction(ACTION_ONE);
PendingIntent pendingIntent1 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 1253, myIntent1,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Set the time for first alarm here
cal.set(2015, 10, 20, 15, 55);
alarmManager1.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent1);
Intent myIntent2 = new Intent(this, AlarmBroadCustReciver.class);
myIntent2.setAction(ACTION_TWO);
PendingIntent pendingIntent2 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 1263, myIntent2,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Set the time for second alarm here
cal.set(2015, 10, 20, 15, 56);
alarmManager1.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent2);
// In this way set time for all the rest of the alarms
Here is BroadCastReceiver
public class AlarmBroadCustReciver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final String ACTION_ONE = "Hello, welcome to the Server1";
public static final String ACTION_TWO = "Hello, welcome to the Server2";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
builder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.mipmap.ic_launcher));
builder.setContentTitle(context.getString(R.string.app_name));
if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase(ACTION_ONE)) {
builder.setContentText("Alarm one");
} else {
builder.setContentText("Alarm two");
}
Notification notification = builder.build();
int notificationID = 0;
notificationManager.notify(notificationID, notification);

You need to pass different notification id for each Notification . If you pass same id (i.e., 0 in your case), the existed notification will be updated with the new data.
change the notification id: eg have a variable and increment it. notificationid++

I had a similar issue, I was creating multiple notifications with different IDs, however, when I clicked on one, only the first one opened the specific scree, all the sequential notifications were ignore (clicking on them didn't do anything, they were just dismissed). Then I tried to do this:
intent.setAction(context.getPackageName() + "." + notificationId);
Which means that each unique notification also carries its own unique Intent and in this case the Intents weren't ignored and each of them opened the needed screen. I must note that my Intents were the same (e.g. NoteDetails.class), so I guess I had to separate them somehow...i'm glad it worked anyways.

Box's answer was a nudge in the right direction for me.
I just had to change the requestCode in the PendingIntent I was passing to the AlarmManager, so it wasn't the same value.
Old code:
PendingIntent pI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
New code:
PendingIntent pI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, notificationId, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

Notifications fired at app start

I want to make an app that sends scheduled notifications every day according to specific times inserted by the user.
The problem is that when I launch the app I get one or two notifications randomly and I don't receive them at the set time.
Here is my setAlarm() function called when the user clicks a button:
public void setAlarm()
{
String mName = NameFld.getText().toString();
String mFormat = FormatSpn.getSelectedItem().toString();
Date date = new Date();
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
Calendar current = new GregorianCalendar();
current.setTime(date);
calendar.setTime(date);
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, picker_hour);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, picker_minute);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
if(current.before(calendar))
{
calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
}
medName = mName; // Used to build the notification (it doesn't matter for now).
medFormat = mFormat; // Used to build the notification (it doesn't matter for now).
long when = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
Intent intent = new Intent(AddMedicine.this, AlarmReceiver.class);
final int _id = (int) System.currentTimeMillis(); // PendingIntent id.
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(AddMedicine.this, _id, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager aManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
aManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, when, pIntent);
}
And here is my BroadcastReceiver class:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String[] data = AddMedicine.getData(); // Used to build the notification (it doesn't matter for now).
// Notification building.
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
builder.setAutoCancel(true);
builder.setTicker("It's pill time!");
builder.setContentTitle(data[0]);
builder.setContentText(data[1]);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Notification notification = builder.build();
NotificationManager nManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nManager.notify(0, notification);
Log.i("NOTIFICATION", "The notification has been fired."); // Used to see if the alarm ha really been received.
}}
Can anyone elaborate something to fix this up? Thank you in advance for any help!

Notification is sent whenever the app is open in Android

I have an app that sends a notification with AlarmManager every day at an exact time.
But it has a bug. The notification is sent whenever the app is open.
How can I get to the notification is send once a day? Thank you
MAINACTIVITY
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private PendingIntent pendingIntent;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
int d = Integer.valueOf(1440);
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Receiver.class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MainActivity.this, 0, i, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 1000 * 60 * d, pendingIntent);
}
}
RECEIVER
public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,"This is a test message!", System.currentTimeMillis());
long[] vibrate = {100, 100, 200, 300};
notification.vibrate = vibrate;
notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingNotificationIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, i,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "AlarmManagerDemo", "This is a test message!", pendingNotificationIntent);
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}
}

Code to call CallThisClass.class every int d mins
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getActivity(), CallThisClass.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getActivity(), 0, myIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
int d = Integer.valueOf(duration);
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 2);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 1000 * 60 * d, pendingIntent);
Code to stop calling CallThisClass.class
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getActivity(), CallThisClass.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getActivity(), 0, myIntent, 0);
alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
CallThisClass.class
public class CallThisClass extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i("Received", "Broadcast Received !");
// Do your stuff
}
}
Dont forget Receiver inyour AndroidManifest.xml
<receiver android:name=".CallThisClass" />
And Permission
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM" />
You can start calling CallThisClass.class whenever you want. Eg. on a click of a button, or when your main activity start. Just make sure to Stop Calling the class when you dont want it working. Eg You want when the user first installs your application you want every 24 hours there should be something updated (notification or something), rit? in your prefrences store a variable that changes itself only if it is loaded for the first time. Check for that variable every time user enters application. if it is first time Start the Calling code. (now we dont want to call the stop code yet because we cant to keep on calling that class even if the application is closed!) close the application and it will work. And you can have a button in you setting or something for testing that when clicked will run code for not calling the class. It will stop the calling calling class every d mins i.e 24 hours in your case (also you can change the prefrnce to default value on clik of this button so that next time you start activity or click activate or something again that code to start calling that class starts). I hope it helps.
Also, i would suggest a read here for Best practices

One time alarm not working

I have done some research and tried to implement a one time alarm that sends a notification to the user, but for some reason I cannot understand, when the time comes, the alarm is not being activated. I think the onReceive method is not being called, but I don't know why, since it's the first time I try to implement an alarm.
=== Edit: it seems that the alarm's onReceive is working after all, I got the toast message "Alarm!!" at the right time (don't know why it didn't the first time I tested), but no notification was received, though... Any clues?
This is the code for the Alarm class:
public class Alarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final String PREFS_FILE_NAME = MainActivity.PREFS_FILE_NAME;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// send notification
Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// API < 16 so have to use compat
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setContentTitle(context.getResources().getString(R.string.memo_test_ready))
.setContentText(context.getResources().getString(R.string.click_to_start));
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, UpcomingTest.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(UpcomingTest.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(123, mBuilder.build());
}
public void Set(Context context)
{
DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(context);
MemoryTestLevel memoTestLevel = new MemoryTestLevel();
long timeInterval;
long memoryTest_dateTime;
String alarmMemoLevel;
List<Phrase> studyPhrasesList = db.getPhrasesWithState(Phrase.START_STUDYING);
if (studyPhrasesList.size() > 0 ){ // if there are any phrases here, update them; dateTime == level 1
alarmMemoLevel = "Level 1 ";
memoTestLevel = db.getMemoryTestLevelWithLevel(MemoryTestLevel.LEVEL_1);
timeInterval = memoTestLevel.getTimeInterval();
TestDateTimeCalculator datetimeCalc = new TestDateTimeCalculator();
memoryTest_dateTime = datetimeCalc.calculate(timeInterval);
for(Phrase phrase : studyPhrasesList){
phrase.setMemoryTestPending(memoTestLevel.getMemoryTest_id(), memoryTest_dateTime);
db.updatePhrase(phrase);
}
} else {
// if there are no phrases to be set at level 1, then get the lowest memoTest_datime of
// the ones that are pending
alarmMemoLevel = "next after L1 ";
memoryTest_dateTime = db.getLowestMemoTestDateTime();
}
/* 2. Set new Alarm
* 2.1. Determine which phrases will go into this new alarm */
List<Phrase> nextMemoryTestPhrases = db.getNextMemoryTestPhrases(memoryTest_dateTime);
for(Phrase phrase : nextMemoryTestPhrases) {
phrase.setState(Phrase.MEMORY_TEST_SCHEDULED);
db.updatePhrase(phrase);
}
// 2.3 set alarm for required dateTime
AlarmManager alarmMgr = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Alarm.class);
PendingIntent pendingInt = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
alarmMgr.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, memoryTest_dateTime, pendingInt);
// 2.4 save the alarm.dateTime in the preferences so it can be used in the "upcoming test" activity
SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_FILE_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
Editor editor = preferences.edit();
editor.putLong("NEXT_TEST_DATETIME", memoryTest_dateTime);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, MMM d, yyyy hh:mm");
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(memoryTest_dateTime);
String nextTestDateStr = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm set to " + alarmMemoLevel + nextTestDateStr, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
editor.commit();
}
public void Cancel(Context context)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(sender);
}
}
And I have a broadcast receiver in case the phone is rebooted:
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final String PREFS_FILE_NAME = MainActivity.PREFS_FILE_NAME;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO setup alarm again (get datetime from system)
Alarm alarm = new Alarm();
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"))
{
SharedPreferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_FILE_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
long nextTestDateInMillis = preferences.getLong("NEXT_TEST_DATETIME", 0);
if(nextTestDateInMillis > 0){
alarm.Set(context);
}
}
}
}
From the research I found, it seems that something is missing/wrong in my manifest. This is what I have there:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses-permission>
The below is inside application:
<receiver android:name="liliana.phrasememo.util.MyBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<receiver android:process=":remote" android:name="liliana.phrasememo.util.Alarm"/>
Also, if you see anything else that's wrong in my implementation of Alarm + Notification it would be brilliant to give me the heads up. Thank you very much :-)

to set alarm may be this code helps you
Intent myIntent = new Intent(yourcontext, Alarm.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(act, 0, myIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)act.getSystemService(act.ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 8);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE,22);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
also you must implement service instead of broadcastreciever to run at alarm time

Thanks very much to answer posted here, what is missing in my code is the notification icon, which I have added like this:
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher) // this was missing
.setContentTitle(context.getResources().getString(R.string.memo_test_ready))
.setContentText(context.getResources().getString(R.string.click_to_start));
And in fact, if we look at the documentation, it does specify that the small icon must be in the notification:
Required notification contents
A Notification object must contain the following:
A small icon, set by setSmallIcon()
A title, set by setContentTitle()
Detail text, set by setContentText()
The LogCat does have a file not found error:
05-05 12:39:39.191: A/NetworkStats(89): Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /proc/net/xt_qtaguid/stats: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
But it doesn't cause any crashes so you might not realise it. I'm not sure anything could be added to the notification constructor itself that would allow the user to see right away that something is missing. I don't have very advanced Java knowledge.
