In my manifest file I have declared the receiver. (as follows)
<receiver android:name=".OnAlarmReceive" />
however, once I shut down my application, I am not able to get the alarms and the notifications. Apparently, a call to the OnReceive in my Broadcast receiver is never made.
public class OnAlarmReceive extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1)
{
//various stuff
}
}
Inside the MainActivity, my alarm manager class is as the follows.
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent("MY_ALARM_NOTIFICATION");
intent.setClass(this, OnAlarmReceive.class);
intent.putExtra("message", message);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent
.getBroadcast(MainActivity.this, 0, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Calendar timeCal = Calendar.getInstance();
timeCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
timeCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minutes);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, timeCal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
and my manifest as is follows :
<receiver android:name=".OnAlarmReceive">
<intent-filter android:priority="1">
<action android:name="MY_ALARM_NOTIFICATION"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
What should I do in order to receive the notifications/alarms even if I have shut off my app. Background service ?
you should add intent-filter in manifest,as
receiver android:name=".SmsBroadCastReceiver">
<intent-filter android:priority="20">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
As Gong Cong says, you need to declare which events your receiver should listen.
For example :
<receiver android:name=".OnAlarmReceive">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="MY_ALARM_NOTIFICATION"/>
</intent-filter> </receiver>
and then when your set your alarm, use an intent with your action :
Intent intent = new Intent("MY_ALARM_NOTIFICATION");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast( this, 0, intent, 0 );
Your code is working fine!
All you have to do is to change this line:
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, timeCal.getTimeInMillis(),
pendingIntent);
With this line:
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 5000, pendingIntent);
And the code in the "onReceive" will run after 5000ms (5sec) even when app is not running
In My understanding, In some cased depending on the way of implementations, OS has authority to adjust the alarm set time. So try to use AlarmManager.set(...), AlarmManager.setexact(...) etc accordingly. In Some cases, depending on the manufacturer(Custom Android OS), there is a possibility that the OS is blocking fire alarm.
Adding android:exported="true" for receiver in manifest file helped me to receive alarms (and thus, wake the application) even when application was shut-down (intentionally by me, removing app from task list).
1.Declare the receiver in the Manifest-file:
<receiver android:name="your.package.name.TestAlarmReceiver"></receiver>
Always remember that the whole Android-System is case sensitive. So check your spelling is correct in the AndroidMainfest.xml.
2.If you create a PendingIntent for your Receiver, please add an requestCode - even it is a random number! Without your onReceive code never get called!
The function which start AlarmManager should look like below:
public static void scheduleTestAlarmReceiver(Context context) {
Intent receiverIntent = new Intent(context, TestAlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 123456789, receiverIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()+startDelay, someDelay, sender);
}
BroadcastReceiver class:
package your.package.name;
public class TestAlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
// your code here!
}
}

I've used an alarmManager to send daily notification. Since alarmManager stops after restarting phone so I've created a BroadcastReceiver to trigger on BOOT_COMPLETE, still no success.
Even not getting toast.
BroadcastRreceiver class
package com.aman.dailynoti;
import...
public class BReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if ((intent.getAction()).equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")) {
Toast.makeText(context, "broadcast", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
SharedPreferences mpreferences=context.getSharedPreferences("myPreferences",MODE_PRIVATE);
int h=mpreferences.getInt("hour",14);
int m=mpreferences.getInt("minute", 30);
Calendar calendar= Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY,h);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE,m);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND,00);
Intent notiIntent = new Intent(context, Notification_Receiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 1, notiIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
}
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<application...>
<receiver
android:name="com.aman.dailynoti.BReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:label="breceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
Dont quote me on this but I believe android only gives a small window of time for your applications to do what they need to do on boot. If you want the user to receive notifications when not using the app look into push notifications.
you should use also intent filter android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON to recieve after restart
I would like to send, schedule text messages in WhatsApp from my application. Is it possible to do that?
Currently, I can open WhatsApp using this code
Intent i=getpackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.whatsapp");
startActivity(i);
However, is it possible to schedule a message from our application to WhatsApp?
You can use the AlarmManager for schedule any task for the future..
In your Activity/Fragment use this lines of code for schedule any task:-
Intent myIntent = new Intent(AlaramClass.this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(AlaramClass.this, 0, myIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, "SPECIFY_YOUR_TIME_HERE_TO_SCHEDULE_TASK", pendingIntent);
And than create the receiver to receive future task
public class AlarmReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i=getpackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.whatsapp");
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(i);
}
}
And do not forget the entry for Receiver inside the Manifest (inside the <application>.....</application>)
<receiver
android:name=".AlarmReceiver"
android:exported="true" >
</receiver>
And u need to add the WAKE_LOCK permission for it like below:-
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"></uses-permission>
But i would like to know how to schedule message from our application to what'sapp
No, there is no such API till now
I'm looking for a solution on how to make sort of an alarm that after exiting an app it will start a new activity (or ten minutes if a user chooses to). It would be non-repeating, just one time.
I looked at TimerTask and Handlers, but they seem to be working only when an app is in the foreground. AlarmManager looks like it could do the job, but I don't know how to approach that. Any suggestions?
edit1:
So here is what I have in MainActivity:
Intent intent = new Intent("wake_up");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, 5000, pendingIntent);
This is BroadcasReceiver:
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("(packagename)", "(whole class name)");
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
And how I registered it in Manifest (like other activities):
<receiver
android:name="FakeCallBroadcastReceiver" >
</receiver>
I have put Toast in BroadcastReceiver and it works, but it appears immediately - changing time from 5000 to let's say 10000 doesn't change anything.
Add this in onCreate() method in Application instance or main Activity:
Intent intent = new Intent("wake_up");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, 5000, pendingIntent);
and start Activity in BroadcastReceiver:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
context.startActivity(...);
}
}
Register the BroadcastReceiver with intent filter:
<receiver android:name="AlarmReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="wake_up" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Alarm manager is definitely the way to go. You'll need to have a broadcast receiver to receive the alarm, and then set a pending intent in that receiver.
As you mentionned, TimerTask and Handlers won't help you much here.
The easiest way to go with a broadcast receiver is to register it in the android manifest as a broadcast receiver. You can also register them manually, but it's a bit harder conceptually.
Have fun!
I have the following problem. I have 2 classes. 1 is called AlarmService and the other is called TimeAlarm which extends BroadcastReceiver.
The App should do the following thing: It should generate a new Alarm to a time specified in the preferences (Which it already does...) also in Logcat i can see how the Alarm gets triggered. But the problem is, that the Notification which should be shown does not show up in the StatusBar.
Here is all the code i have for this:
AndroidManifest.xml:
<receiver android:name="com.ikalma.alarmmanager.TimeAlarm">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
AlarmService.java:
private Context context;
private PendingIntent mAlarmSender;
public AlarmService(Context context) {
this.context = context;
Intent notifyIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
notifyIntent.setClass(context, myActivity.class);
mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, notifyIntent, 0);
}
public void startAlarm(int stunde, int minute) {
Calendar updateTime = Calendar.getInstance();
updateTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, stunde);
updateTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);
updateTime.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, updateTime.getTimeInMillis(),
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, mAlarmSender);
}
TimeAlarm.java:
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.e("TEST", "onReceive() called...");
}
The Receiver in the Manifest is inside of the Tag so that should not be a problem.
The problem is, that if i restart my device, it gets called. But not if an Alarm gets triggered.
But the onReceive() method should also be called if an alarm gets triggered, shouldn't it?
Thanks for your help!
your intent filter is only listening to boot complete intents and not your own alarm broadcast intent action. update your intent filter so that your broadcast intent is also received (that means for your special case add the action of Intent.ACTION_MAIN to your intent filter)
<receiver android:name="com.ikalma.alarmmanager.TimeAlarm">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
I want to use an alarm to run some code at a certain time. I have successfully implemented an alarm with the broadcast receiver registered in the manifest but the way i understand it, this method uses a separate class for the broadcast receiver.
I can use this method to start another activity but I cant use it to run a method in my main activity?
(how can I notify a running activity from a broadcast receiver?)
So I have been trying to register my broadcast receiver in my main activity as explained in the answer above.
private BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver(){
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "hello", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
uploadDB();
}
};
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(null);
this.registerReceiver(this.receiver, filter);
}
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
this.unregisterReceiver(this.receiver);
}
However I have been unable to get this to work with alarm manager, I am unsure as to how i should link the alarm intent to the broadcast receiver. Could anyone point me to an example of registering an alarm manager broadcast receiver dynamically in the activity? Or explain how i would do this?
How about this?
Intent startIntent = new Intent("WhatEverYouWant");
PendingIntent startPIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, startIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarm.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, triggerTime, startPIntent);
And then in your Manifest.xml file:
<receiver android:name="com.package.YourOnReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="WhatEverYouWant" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
So as far as I know you still have to declare the receiver in the Manifest. I'm not sure if you can set it to a private instance inside of your activity. You could declare an onReceive inside of your activity and call that (if the BroadcastReceiver has an interface. I don't know if it does.)
Start a alarm intent from where you want to start alarm. write below code from where you want to start to listen the alarm
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), **AlarmReceiver**.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), 0, myIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, shpref.getInt("timeoutint", 30));
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
And in broadcast receiver write the code you want to receive. And in menifest write below
<receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver" android:process=":remote"/>
You can also put repetitive alarm also.
Hope it help!
