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

I am working on one android application which allows user to set reminder for specific task or work. and i have created reminder in android using alarm manager. But my problem is when user move to some other time zone how can i change reminder time as per new time zone ?
2nd problem is if user have set reminder for two task at same time which one will get canceled by system ?
As android doesn't provide id for reminder.
I have already checked link1, link2 questions on SO but it is not valid for me in my 2nd case.
You should not to do that becouse you set it up in abcolute unix time value right?
It means that the same absolute time event will happens in the same moment in every time zone
P.S to cancele alarm you should use the same Intent as you use whent setup alarm. It just override previous alarm by new one. In my application i use only one alarm for all events, and i invalidate it value every time and set it up to earliest event time
I have a broadcast receiver that receives event when user manually changes Date . But I am unable to find what was the previous date he changed. Example- If date was 5-June-2014 and he changed it to 01-June-2014. I want to know the previous date that is 5-june-2014. Please help
You could register ACTION_TIME_TICK and record the current date every minute.
I am developing an application for a certain event like a count down.
In the foreground of the app I show the days, hours, minutes and seconds left till the event date/time with handler.
However, I'd like to be able to detect start of new day (when app is in background) and show a notification in the status bar like '29 days left'. I want to receive this event whenever the system date automatically changes to new day (23:59 -> 00:00) everyday until the end date of my event.
Having said all this, how can I achieve this with the AlarmManager (or any other way)?
I know how to set up broadcast receivers, I just don't know how to schedule the event to occur precisely when a new day has come.
I would consider using Joda Time, and use the withTimeAtStartOfDay method to get the next alarm.
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
I try to use datepicker to set the time, and I also built an alarm for that time I set, but the alarm always paly at current time instead of my set time, I don't know why, please help, thanks! here is my code:
You should remove this line:
alarmTime.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
as it set the time of the calendar to current time.
