am trying to schedule a notification with desired time and un the below code my desired time if after 10 seconds but i don't know why its showing up the notification instantly , am i doing anything wrong ? or missing anything please correct me if am wrong anywhere , and am using BlueStacks Emulator for testing (built version 4.4.2 Api 19)
notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
notification.setAutoCancel(true);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent("android.media.action.DISPLAY_NOTIFICATION");
notificationIntent.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
PendingIntent broadcast = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 100, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add(Calendar.SECOND, 10);
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), broadcast);
// why its showing up instantly insted of after 10 seconds
//alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,20,broadcast);
Intent intent = new Intent(this , MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 , intent , PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Intent switchIntent = new Intent(this, switchButtonListener.class);
PendingIntent pendingSwitchIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, switchIntent, 0);
notification.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ok);
notification.setWhen(20);
notification.setTicker("you've got a meesage");
notification.setContentTitle("new message");
notification.setContentText("wanna take a ride?");
// notification.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(uniqueID, notification.build());
notification showing up instantly
When you call notificationManager.notify() in your last line, it displays the notification immediately.
I assume that you wanted to use an AlarmManager to display a notification and you don't quite understand what it does. An AlarmManager is used schedule an Intent to be broadcasted. An Intent can be used to perform a variety of task such as starting an Activity or Service. As far as i know it is not possible to use an Intent to display notification.
What you should be looking at is to use postDelayed() method in Handler class. For example:
handler = new Handler();
final Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Create your notification using NotificationCompat.Builder
// and call notificationManager.notify()
}
};
handler.postDelayed(r, /*time to delay for in ms*/);
Edit: If you really want to use AlarmManager and broadcast to display a notification, you will need to extend a BroadcastReceiver and have it listen for your PendingIntent broadcast. Next, you will schedule the PendingIntent to be broadcasted using AlarmManager. When the AlarmManager fire off the PendingIntent after 10 seconds, your BroadcastReceiver will receive the broadcast and call notificationManager.notify() to display the notification. This is quite a roundabout way of displaying notification.

I am creating a research app that should prompt the user 4 times a day to enter their mood - by sending a notification, which when clicked launches the correct Activity. I am able to schedule these notifications using AlarmManager, however only the last scheduled notification ever shows. So although I schedule them for 9AM, 2PM, 5PM, and 8PM, it only ever sends a notification at 8PM.
How can I get all of the scheduled notifications to show?
Here is my code for setting (one of) the alarms (from a notification manager class). Note that al alarms are set using the same instance of AlarmManager:
cal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), createPendingIntent(9, this));
Here is the createPendingIntent method (in the same notification manager class):
public static PendingIntent createPendingIntent(int hour, Context c){
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(c, AlarmBroadcastReceiver.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra("time", hour);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(c, 0 , notificationIntent , PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
return pendingIntent;
}
Here is the BroadcastReceiver for the alarm:
public class AlarmBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
NotificationSender.createNotification(context);
}
}
And finally the createNotification method:
public static void createNotification(Context c){
Log.e("notif?", "creating");
Intent intent = new Intent(c, UpdateMoodActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
int notificationId = new Random().nextInt();
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(c, 0, intent, 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(c, "com.lizfltn.phdapp.notifChannelID")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
.setContentTitle("SoftMood")
.setContentText("Please record your mood")
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setAutoCancel(true);
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(c);
notificationManager.notify(notificationId, builder.build());
}
Yes I know this isn't the best-practice way of doing things, or even the neatest, but unfortunately I need to get code working ahead of writing good code :P
I've tried various configurations of setting the alarm, e.g. using elapsed realtime instead of RTC, only setting the alarm, setting the exact alarm, etc, but there might be something fundamental I'm not understanding about how those work.
Any help appreciated!
Can you try with same id in pending intent and notify.?
Notification id in createNotification() method is random id.
int notificationId = new Random().nextInt();
and id used in createPendingIntent method is 0.
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(c, 0 , notificationIntent , PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Can you try with using same value for second parameter of getBroadcast?
I want my user to set a time to receive a daily reminder from my app. In my ReminderActivity I create the PendingIntent and the Alarm Manager, and then in my Alarm Receiver class I create the notification inside onReceive(). I tried both the FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT and FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT flags when creating the pending intent but still when I am testing the app and changing the reminder time then sometimes the notification doesn't arrive at all, or it arrives only when the app is running in the background and the screen is on. I would greatly appreciate any thought or ideas.
ReminderActivity code:
private void setNotification() {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, chosenHour);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, chosenMinute);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
//if user sets the alarm after their preferred time has already passed that day
if(now.after(calendar)) {
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
}
Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ReminderActivity.this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Activity.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
}
Alarm Receiver code:
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bitmap largeLogo = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),
R.drawable.ptwired_logo);
//create local notification
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
//notificationIntent.putExtra("FromPTWired", true); //to track if user opens the app from the daily digest notification
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ptwired_logo)
.setLargeIcon(largeLogo)
.setContentTitle(context.getResources().getString(R.string.app_name))
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setContentText(REMINDER_TEXT)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setOngoing(false)
.build();
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}
}
Probably an issue of Doze mode, take a look in Android restriction:
Doze restrictions
The following restrictions apply to your apps while in Doze:
Standard AlarmManager alarms (including setExact() and setWindow()) are deferred to the next maintenance window.
If you need to set alarms that fire while in Doze, use setAndAllowWhileIdle() or setExactAndAllowWhileIdle().
Alarms set with setAlarmClock() continue to fire normally — the system exits Doze shortly before those alarms fire.
Well I have tried enough to look for the answer to the question mentioned above, but my efforts have been futile so far.
I have created an alarm with the help of the alarmmanager class which will fire up the notification at regular intervals of time(probably about 5 days).
Below is the code for the implementation of the alarm happening inside onClick() of a button.
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent("android.media.action.DISPLAY_NOTIFICATION");
notificationIntent.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
PendingIntent broadcast = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 100, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
if(fromDateEtxt.getText().toString().length()>0) {
cal.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 10);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,cal.getTimeInMillis(), 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, broadcast);
}
The code for the broadcast receiver.
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, NotificationActivity.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(NotificationActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(notificationIntent);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
Notification notification = builder.setContentTitle("Demo App Notification")
.setContentText("New Notification From Demo App..")
.setTicker("New Message Alert!")
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent).build();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}}
The onClick() method apart from starting of the alarm changes the activity also. Now the problem I am facing is I dont know really how to stop the repeating alarm. I want to stop the alarm on a particular date. Secondly, I was confused whether to use the alarm.cancel for cancelling the alarm or to use another alarm for cancellation of the previous alarm as shown here. Apart from this, I wanted to know if the alarm could be cancelled from another activity or does the point seems unnecessary and the limit to the date could be set beforehand?
I'm new to android programming and I just learned how to make a notification via an Intent and a PendingIntent. I wondered if I could make this notification clickable (link to my MainActivity) without starting a new Activity.
This is what I have right now (AlarmReceiver excluded) as a function in my MainActivity:
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, alarmIntent, 0);
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
manager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
I reckoned I should change "this" to something else, but I wouldn't know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated!
You can use the notification Builder, in my case the compat builder.
NotificationCompat.Builder
Setting the content, I've got mine from the params. You have to replace them with your respected once.
builder.setContentTitle(params.getTitle())
.setContentText(params.getText())
.setWhen(params.getTime())
.setTicker(params.getTickerText())
.setPriority(params.getPriority())
.setOngoing(params.isOngoing())
.setOnlyAlertOnce(true)
.setAutoCancel(params.getAutoCancel())
.setStyle(params.getStyle());
Creating PendingIntent and also adding it to the Notification through the builder. This intent should be pointing to your Launcher Activity and from there you can handle it in OnCreate.
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
Then push the notification
mNotificationManager.notify(id, notification);
You can also make these notifications pointing to a BroadCastReceiver and handle a click on the notification from there, on its onReceive method.
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
alarmIntent , PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
manager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent); ...try this
I am trying to implement an alarm that would display a notification everyday at the same hour of the day.
Here is the function I'm calling in my activity:
private void restartNotify() {
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
// Intent for our BroadcastReceiver
Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
// PendingIntent for AlarmManager
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT );
// In case we have already set up AlarmManager, we cancel.
am.cancel(pendingIntent);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+10000, pendingIntent);
}
And here is my broadcast receiver class
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon_notif, context.getString(R.string.NotificationLaunchMssg), System.currentTimeMillis());
// This is intent we want to launch when user clicks on the notification.
Intent intentTL = new Intent(context, MyClass.class);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, context.getString(R.string.NotificationTitle), context.getString(R.string.NotificationBody),
PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intentTL, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT));
nm.notify(1, notification);
//Here we set next notification, in day interval
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+10000, pendingIntent);
}
}
As you can see in this code I am using a test value (+10000 milliseconds) because I am simply trying to trigger the alarm 10 seconds after my app has started. But it doesn't work, nothing is displayed.
I don't know if the alarm has a problem, or the notification, nothing is happening.
Do you have any idea why?
Thanks for your help
EDIT: after adding some test code in AlarmReceiver method, it turns out this code is never run. So I probably don't call it properly, what is wrong?
Do not use this approach try setInexactRepeating(...) or setRepeating(...) instead. Why are u giving extra work to the BroadcastReceiver for setting alarm every time it receives the intent.
here is a little code:
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
0, 10000, pendingIntent);
// The pending intent will the same as yours. 10000 is the
// interval for between consecutive alarms
as azertiti mentioned in comments " By the time it's registered that time will already be in the past." so use 0 or System.currentTimeMillis().
