I am setting an alarm using an AlarmManager.
The AlarmManager is set with the date that i parse.
I have a getter and setter class that i use to pull the release dates and the name of the items when the list is populated.
How could i go about setting the title of the item when the alarm goes off as a notification?
EDIT: I would like to set a title with the alarm date. I dont know if this is possible.
What i am trying to do is launch a notification with the alarm manager. But i dont know how would identify which item is is.
What you want to display in the title of the notification just pass that string to the "Ticker" variable in the following code..
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, Ticker, when);
or follow this example

My code is How to keep service alive when remove app from stack
Please suggest to find solution.
In the pendingIntent for your AlarmManager you can put extras and you can pass title to your MyReceiver activity like following.
Intent myIntent = new Intent(NotificationDemo.this, MyReceiver.class);
myIntent.putExtra("title","2 minutes");
pendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(NotificationDemo.this, 0, myIntent, 0);
All the notifications will have a unique id so you can distinguish them on the basis of their id in the Receiver class. All these must be assigned a unique id when they are created to distinguish between them.
You can also define type of notification, so that you will be able to cast different types of notifications with different push messages and its parameters.
The answer to the question you asked in the comment that to set title of a notification :
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context).setContentTitle("Title of Notification");
I am implementing a feature in my application that allows users to set reminders at a specified time.
In my reminder activity I have a TimePicker, two buttons and a text view.
One button is to set a reminder to the time displayed on the TimePicker and the other is to cancel an already set reminder. When a user sets a reminder the time at which it is set is displayed in the text view and when it is cancelled the text view is cleared.
I am using AlarmManager and PendingIntent to trigger my NotificationService at the user-specified time but I cant figure out a way to indicate to my reminder activity that the notification has been shown to then remove the reminder time from the text view.
In short... when my notification is shown I want my text view to be empty.
You can use BroadcastReceiver to receive Alarm, or if you want to receive Alarm in NotificationService only, then you can broadcast that from NotificationService and listen that through BroadcastReceiver registered in your reminder activity.

I have an ongoing task and after it finishes, I want the notification to become cancelable.
For that, I create a new notification with notification.flags as zero, but the notification keeps being un-cancelable.
Apparently, FLAG_FOREGROUND_SERVICE prevented the notification from turning into cancelable, even after reseting the flags.
After removing FLAG_FOREGROUND_SERVICE and using only 0 or FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT, the notification could be made cancelable or un-cancelable - respectively.
Please take a look here : Android update notification
In short what you will do is this:
Create your notification first time and assign a notification ID to it.
Once your service is done executing create a new cancelable notification with the same id
fire that notification, it should make the previous notification cancelable .
I'd like to selectively hide and show a notification based on what a user does.
Since that would happen pretty often, I'd like to have it appear in the notification dropdown without having the text message appear in the status bar every time I show it.
Task manager does it when I toggle it in its preference screen.
When you create the Notification object, pass null for the ticker text.
Notification n = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, null, System.currentTimeMillis());
I'm using status notification in my android app and i want to create a notification that is fired on a date I have set. For example, I want to fire a notification tomorrow at 9 pm. When i try to set a date in the when parameter the notification just fires instantly instead of at the date and time that i set.
Your help would be most appreciated
You could use the AlarmManager for that
