I have looked through a ton of documentation and stackoverflow questions on how to set a repeating notification set to a certain time but can not get any of them to work. Here is what I have right now.
The method I set up the AlarmManager in:
//set alarm method
private void setAlarm() {
if(enableCheckBox.isChecked()) {
//save time / title / message
mTinyDB.putInt(Constants.SAVED_HOUR, timePicker.getCurrentHour());
mTinyDB.putInt(Constants.SAVED_MINUTE, timePicker.getCurrentMinute());
mTinyDB.putString(Constants.SAVED_TITLE, titleEditText.getText().toString().trim());
mTinyDB.putString(Constants.SAVED_MESSAGE, messageEditText.getText().toString().trim());
mTinyDB.putBoolean(Constants.SAVED_NOTIFICATION_ENABLED, enableCheckBox.isChecked());
//create repeating notification
Intent intent = new Intent(NotificationActivity.this, Notify.class);
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Activity.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this,
0, intent, 0);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, mTinyDB.getInt(Constants.SAVED_HOUR, 0));
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, mTinyDB.getInt(Constants.SAVED_MINUTE, 0));
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
manager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, pendingIntent);
}
}
The Notify class which extends BoradcastReceiver:
public class Notify extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
TinyDB mTinyDB = new TinyDB(context);
Notification builder = new Notification.Builder(context)
.setContentTitle(mTinyDB.getString(Constants.SAVED_TITLE))
.setContentText(mTinyDB.getString(Constants.SAVED_MESSAGE))
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_check)
.setContentIntent(pIntent)
.build();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(1, builder);
}
}
Am I doing this completely wrong? I can't get anything to come up (at least at the set time). Help or guidance is appreciated :)
You're using PendingIntent.getService, but your intent is not for a service. For a BroadcastReceiver, you should be using PendingIntent.getBroadcast.
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, 0);
The problem you're running into is that you can't set an exact, repeatable alarm in Android. If you want your repeating alarm to occur at an exact time, you must set a one time exact alarm and recreate it after the alarm goes off in your code.
Citation: Documentation for setRepeating
In order for the system to be able to launch a component, it should be registered in your manifest:
AndroidManifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mypackage.myapplication" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver

</application>

I'm relatively new to Android so I'm quite puzzled here...
I want a notification to be triggered at a certain time on a daily basis.
I use a Calendar class to set the time when the notification is triggered every day, and AlarmManager to set the repeating task.
The problem is, the notification is triggered when the app is initially launched and not at the pre-defined time configured in the Calendar object. When I run in debug mode, I see that I go to the setExact method.
I also created a receiver to handle the notification itself and open the MainActivity when the notification is clicked.
MainActivity.java
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
.
.
.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 8);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 100, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19)
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
else
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
}
NotificationReceiver.java
public class NotificationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent mainIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
mainIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 100, mainIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(context);
builder.setContentTitle("This is the title")
.setContentText("This is the text")
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.deal_icon);
Notification notification = builder.build();
notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE | Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
manager.notify(100, notification);
}
}

Calendar.getInstance() returns a calendar at your current local time. You're then setting the time to be what you wish, with today's date. When you schedule an alarm, the date is likely in the past. The system then will trigger the alarm immediately.
I believe you should use setRepeating(). You can set the trigger / interval times. Keep in mind that your app, or even the device itself, isn't necessarily running all the time.
I need to start alarm at every 30 seconds, I need it to be activated without running the app. But whether the app runs or not the AlarmReceiver do not get called. Any suggestions?
start method is in MainActivity.java class
public void start() {
Calendar calendar=Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 30);
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(MainActivity.this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarm.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pintent);
Log.d("alarm","alarm set for alarm receiver");
}
My Receiver file
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Toast.makeText(context,"Alarm Receiver ",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d("Alarm","Alarm receive");
}
}

here i am able to set alarm, but i didn't receive alarm
In this page there is a finished example of what you need:
https://www.thepolyglotdeveloper.com/2014/10/use-broadcast-receiver-background-services-android/
Apparently you have to change the line:
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(MainActivity.this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
To
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MainActivity.this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Change your start method to this:
public void start() {
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, alarmIntent, 0);
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
int interval = 30 * 1000; // 30 seconds of interval.
manager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), interval, pendingIntent);
Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm Set", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Let me know if works.
I ran into this issue recently. The problem was with my custom Parcelable object, using primitives instead worked fine. This answer helped me: Sending Extras to onReceive only retrieves ALARM_COUNT
I'm trying to make my application use AlarmManager to send a notification after 5 seconds, but the pendingIntent doesn't seem to get called.
Heres my code
In onCreate in MainActivity:
Long alertTime = new GregorianCalendar().getTimeInMillis()+5*1000;
Intent alertIntent = new Intent(this, Notification.class);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alertTime , PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 1, alertIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
Notification.class:
public class Notification extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
PendingIntent notificIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, new Intent(context, MainActivity.class), 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setTicker("Ticker")
.setContentText("Text");
mBuilder.setContentIntent(notificIntent);
mBuilder.setDefaults(NotificationCompat.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(1, mBuilder.build());
}
}
Android Manifest:

i have searched for hours but i can't find out why nothing is happening
See: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html#set(int, long, android.app.PendingIntent)
Note: Beginning in API 19, the trigger time passed to this method is
treated as inexact: the alarm will not be delivered before this time,
but may be deferred and delivered some time later. The OS will use
this policy in order to "batch" alarms together across the entire
system, minimizing the number of times the device needs to "wake up"
and minimizing battery use. In general, alarms scheduled in the near
future will not be deferred as long as alarms scheduled far in the
future.
only 5 seconds?
try this:
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
showNotification(); //your notification code called after 5 seconds
}
}, 5 * 1000); // 5 seconds...
OR TRY:
long alertTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + (5 * 1000); // <-- try this
Intent alertIntent = new Intent(this, Notification.class);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alertTime , PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 1, alertIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
I am building an android app to display recurring scheduled notification at a specified time of the day.
For this I have created broadcastReceiver using following code:
public class ScheduleNotification extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
MainActivity mainActivity = new MainActivity();
String _pasuram_number = mainActivity.get_pasuram_number();
String[] _pasuram_str = mainActivity.get_dd_text(_pasuram_number).split(",");
Log.d("VC", "Notification intent paasuram " + _pasuram_number);
intent.putExtra("pasuramnumber", _pasuram_number);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Intent snoozeIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent piSnooze = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, snoozeIntent, 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_name);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
builder.setAutoCancel(true);
builder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.ic_stat_name));
builder.setContentTitle("Title of the notification");
builder.setContentText(_pasuram_str[9]+"-"+_pasuram_str[11]);
builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(_pasuram_str[0] + "-" + _pasuram_str[8]));
Uri alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());
}
}
In the MainActivity added code to create alarm
private void createScheduledNotification(int days)
{
// Get new calendar object and set the date to now
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
// Add defined amount of days to the date
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
//calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, days * 24);
// Retrieve alarm manager from the system
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(getBaseContext().ALARM_SERVICE);
// Every scheduled intent needs a different ID, else it is just executed once
int id = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();
// Prepare the intent which should be launched at the date
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ScheduleNotification.class);
// Prepare the pending intent
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), id, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Register the alert in the system. You have the option to define if the device has to wake up on the alert or not
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
//alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
}
The code compiles fine and application runs, but scheduled notification does not appear as expected.
In the manifest file added receiver as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.vaishnavism.eclass.dinamorudivyaprabandam" >
<application

android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<!-- permission required to use Alarm Manager -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM"/>
<!-- Register the Alarm Receiver -->
<receiver android:name="com.vaishnavism.eclass.dinamorudivyaprabandam.ScheduleNotification"/>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".SettingsActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_settings"
android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="com.vaishnavism.eclass.dinamorudivyaprabandam.MainActivity" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Any help to resolve the issue is greatly appreciated.

Try to use set your alarm like below :
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
int interval = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
Intent myIntent = new Intent(yourActivity.this, ScheduleNotification .class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(UserDashBoardActivity.this, 0, myIntent,0);
/* Repeating on every 24 hours interval */
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), interval, pendingIntent);
And you need to start an Alarm When the Device Boots.
For more info refere here.
Hope it will help you.
I am trying to create reminder using alarm manager. But seems it's not working. I am trying to set multiple reminder using different id but my broadcastreceiver not getting called. I am not seeing any notification or nor any sound.
I have tried 30-40 times.
I am setting date to calender like 25/11/2014
Here is myactivity code which setting alarm notification.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2014);
calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, 11);
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 25);
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 19);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30);
//calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 1);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(CreateReminder.this, MyReceiver.class);
myIntent.putExtra("reminder_id",reminderid);
myIntent
.setAction("com.sandeep.alarm.REMINDER");
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
CreateReminder.this, reminderid, myIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
pendingIntent);
MyReceiver.class
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private Ringtone r;
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
int ID=intent.getExtras().getInt("reminder_id");
Log.i("CreateReminder", "reminder_id:-"+ID);
int icon = R.drawable.ic_launcher;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, "reminder", when);
String title = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
String subTitle = "Please complete task";
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, ReminderActivity.class);
notificationIntent.putExtra("reminder_id", ID);
PendingIntent intent1 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,notificationIntent, 0);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, subTitle, intent1);
//To play the default sound with your notification:
//notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_INSISTENT;
//notification.defaults |= Notification.;
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
Uri notification1 = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM);
r = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(context, notification1);
r.play();
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
r.stop();
}
}, 10000);
}
}
I am registering my receiver in AndroidManifest.xml with permissions.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

I don't understand why it's not working. Please give me some hints or reference.
You are not sending your broadcast after you set your action in your intent.
Intent myIntent = new Intent(CreateReminder.this, MyReceiver.class);
myIntent.putExtra("reminder_id",reminderid);
myIntent
.setAction("com.sandeep.alarm.REMINDER");
sendbroadcast(myIntent);//YOU FORGOT TO ADD THIS
I have compared your code to mine and have a couple of things for you to try...
Is com.sandeep.alarm a real namespace? The activities within your app have the differing namespace com.sandip.remindme so you could use this ("com.sandip.remindme.REMINDER") for your action name.
Your intent is created with a specific context and class target. Try constructing it with just the action name, then you will know if the action name is the issue:
Intent myIntent = new Intent("com.sandip.remindme.REMINDER")
I'm also working on Alarm remainder and I've implemented successfully in my app. you can download the example code in the following link. I hope it helps you. Please note that alarm takes 30secs to 1 min to call broadcast receiver. i.e., if you set alarm at 3:30:00pm then broad cast receiver will be called at around 3:30:30pm.

You're never sending the broadcast.
sendbroadcast(myIntent);
Add that directly after you do .setAction, and the code should work just fine.
