With the courtesy of an stackoverlow user we written this code. Should be starts a toast at specify hour but doesn't run.
Can someone help me to discover where's the problem?
thanks!
public class UnUsedService extends Service {
private PendingIntent pendingIntent;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//startService(new Intent(this, UnUsedService.class));
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
//Toast.makeText(this, "Service Destroyed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
// super.onStart();
super.onStart(intent, startId);
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//Toast.makeText(UnUsedService.this, "Start Alarm", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 22);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService (Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 0, new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReceiver.class), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);
}};
The receiver class
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm worked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Manifest:
<service android:name="UnUsedService">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="org.gortcloud.startatboot.UnUsedService" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver" android:process=":remote"/>
I was just working on something similar. can you replace receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver" with receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver" android:process=":remote" that worked for me.
ok...i got this to work. i followed How to start Service using Alarm Manager in Android?. basically i was using a pendingIntent.setBroadcast(..) which requires a BroadcastReceiver, now i'm using pendingIntent.setService(...)
i have a class that extends IntentService (with a noarg constructor). I'm successfully getting the alarm to trigger starting this service. i have an onStart() and onStartCommand() and onHandleIntent() that each get run (i assume you would only implement one of them)
hope this helps you.

I want to show local notification on specific time. So that I am using alarm manager to set pending intent for specific time. But in my case Broadcast/Service is not getting called if application killed by user.
Check the below code and help me out why am not getting notification after application killed.

AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+30000, pendingIntent);
}

How to use Android AlarmManager in Fragment in Kotlin?
I've been stuck on this for days now.
I want my alarm manager to fire off every 15 minutes even when the app is closed but it does not work when app is closed. It works while app is open though.
In my manifest file I have:
<!-- Used to consume the alarm manager alerts when app clsoed -->
<receiver
android:name="biz.customName.pkg.AlarmReceiver"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="biz.customName.pkg.msg"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
My BroadcastReceiver class (AlarmReceiver)
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
// Alarm manager used to run install when app is closed
AlarmManager alarmManager;
// Called when alarm received
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
// Enable alarm
setupAlarm(context);
// Perform background task
}
// Setup alarm
public void setupAlarm(Context context)
{
// Setup reciever for alarm
// context.registerReceiver(this, new IntentFilter("biz.customName.pkg.msg"));
// Setup pending intent
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, new Intent(Loader.filterName), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Setup alarm
alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
final long triggerTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + 900 * 1000;
// Newest OS
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19 && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 23)
{
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, triggerTime, pendingIntent);
}
}
}
In main I call setup alarm to get the alarm going initially then each time the onReceive inside my Broadcast receiver is called I reset the alarm.
What am I doing wrong that it doesn't work when the app is closed?
Add this in your AndroidManifest.xml
<service
android:name=".MyService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true" />
<receiver
android:name=".MyAlarmReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true" />
MyAlarmReceiver.java
public class MyAlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
Context context;
public MyAlarmReceiver() {
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
intent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(intent);
}
}
MyService.java
public class MyService extends Service {
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
YourTask();
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
private void YourTask(){
// call api in background
// send push notification
//etc...
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO: Return the communication channel to the service.
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
}
}
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
PendingIntent pendingIntent;
AlarmManager alarmManager;
Intent alarmIntent;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
AutoUpdateDataInBackground();
}
private void AutoUpdateDataInBackground() {
// Retrieve a PendingIntent that will perform a broadcast
alarmIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MyReceiver.class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MainActivity.this, 0, alarmIntent, 0);
alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
long interval = 15 * 60 * 1000;
// Repeating on every 15 minutes interval
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),interval, pendingIntent);
}
}
BTW : AlarmManager will not be called with locked screen and enabled energy saving mode
Why my AlarmManager for service update doesn't work? this is my code:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
startService();
}
// Method to start the service
public void startService() {
startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), MyService.class));
}
// Method to stop the service
public void stopService() {
stopService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), MyService.class));
}
Service class:
public class MyService extends Service {
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// Let it continue running until it is stopped.
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
poruka();
super.onCreate();
}
public void poruka(){
Toast.makeText(this, "OnCreate work!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
BroadcastReceiver and AlarmManager:
public class ServiceBroadcast extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
context.startService(new Intent(context, MyService.class));
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(context, ServiceBroadcast.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, alarmIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis(), 30*1000, pendingIntent);
}
}
And Permissions:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="me.example.nservice.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>
<service android:name=".MyService" android:enabled="true"
android:label="Servisv1" />
<receiver android:name="me.example.rqservice.ServiceBroadcast" android:process=":remote">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
I receive message "OnCreate work!" and "Service Started" only first time when i open app. Why update doesn't work every 30 sec?
To start a service every 30 seconds :
Inside onCreate() :
Here MyService is the name of the Service.
Intent myService = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(
this, 0, myService, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
System.currentTimeMillis(), 30*1000,pendingIntent);
This'll start your service every 30 seconds. However, if the service is already running, which might be the case once it has been started the first time, from next time onwards the call will directly go to onStartCommand() method of the Service and not onCreate().
This is all that you need to do. However, if you want to make sure that the AlarmManager keeps restarting the service even after a phone is restarted, you'll need to add a BroadcastReceiver for Boot.
I've a service that runs after android starts. I'd like show a toast every days at 9am. The problem is: how can I implement the code (alarmamanger within service)?
Start service after boot:
public class AutoStart extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent();
serviceIntent.setAction("com.example.startatboot.UnUsedService");
context.startService(serviceIntent);
}
}
public class Service extends Service {
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
Toast.makeText(UnUsedService.this, "Start Alarm", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}};
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService (Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, new Intent(context, MyClass.class), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);
Just replace your code with my code,
public class Service extends Service {
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
Toast.makeText(UnUsedService.this, "Start Alarm", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}};
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService (Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);
Now create a new class AlarmReceiver in the same package and add the following code to it.
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm worked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Now define it in the PendingIntent of the Alarm.
Add following code in the manifest file,
<receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver" />
Now run your application. that's it. It will definitely show a toast at 9.
Let me know if it worked or not.
I am trying to set up an alarm that will run in the background and trigger (eventually) a save event. At the moment I simply have this code attached to a button. Press the button and the alarm should start leaving Toast messages behind as an indication that it is functioning. At the moment everything runs except the onReceive in the BroadcastReceiver is never triggered.
Here is my code:
The class setting up the alarm:
//FIXME - rename (ie BackgroundSave; more descriptive)
public class AlarmReceiver extends Service{
//FIXME - make sure you kill the service
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Toast.makeText(getApplication().getApplicationContext(), "Service onCreate called", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Toast.makeText(getApplication().getApplicationContext(), "Service started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
setAlarm(AlarmReceiver.this);
// We want this service to continue running until it is explicitly
// stopped, so return sticky.
return START_STICKY;
}
public void setAlarm(Context c) {
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)c.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(c, Alarm.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(c, 0, i, 0);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis() + 1000, 1000, pi);
Toast.makeText(c.getApplicationContext(), "setAlarm called", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void cancelAlarm(Context context) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Alarm.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(sender);
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
Here is the BroadcastReceiver:
public class Alarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
And here is my manifest:
<!-- Alarm -->
<service android:name="com.xxxx.android.tools.AlarmReceiver" android:enabled="true" />
<receiver android:name="com.xxxx.android.tools.Alarm" ></receiver>
The alarm onReceive is never triggered.
You have to use android.os.SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() as your base time when using AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP.
That said i think to use the AlarmManager for your saving purpose is not the best approach. The alarm manager is pretty heavyweight. You should consider using a simple Handler to trigger your save action.
Have a look at Handler.postAtTime().
