I am trying to set an alarm within the Fragment.
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(getActivity(), AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(getActivity(), 0, alarmIntent, 0);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 19);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 23);
manager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 1000 * 60 * 3600, pendingIntent);
And my AlarmReceiver class is:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "MainFragment";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "onReceive");
Toast.makeText(context, "I'm running", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
This log and toast are never shown.
In my AndroidManifest i have put
<receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"></receiver>
Am I missing something? This is my first project in Android so its probably some rookie mistake.
Here is example which is working TESTED:
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager) this.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(this.getApplicationContext(), AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.getApplicationContext(), 0, alarmIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 30);
manager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 1000 * 60 * 3600, pendingIntent);
If it doesn't work I can send you the working project I made.
You're using PendingIntent.getService(...), rather than the BroadcastReceiver equivalent, PendingIntent.getBroadcast(...). Which is likely the issue.
Make sure that if you set the alarm once (like on App first launch) and while waiting you make some changes in the code and install the App again your pending intent not active anymore, so you need to set the alarm again.

I want the code to execute a notification once every day at 07 am. I created a debug apk and installed it to see how it performs and noticed, that it actually sends a notification at about 07 am, but if you click on the notification and get into the app and close it afterwars, it sends a notification again. Does someone see a mistake in the code?
this is the code in the MainActivity.java (the notification part):
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
intent_anmeldeActivity = new Intent(this, anmeldeActivity.class);
intent_WebViewActivity = new Intent(this, WebViewActivity.class);
prefs = getSharedPreferences("prefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
prefsEditor = prefs.edit();
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 07);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);
intent_notification = new Intent(this, NotificationClass.class);
Intent intent1 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NotificationClass.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MainActivity.this, 0, intent1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) MainActivity.this.getSystemService(MainActivity.this.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
Also it sends notifications kind of randomly.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
public class NotificationClass extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
loadText loadText = new loadText();
loadText.startAsyncTask(context);
} }

// Set the alarm to start at approximately 7:00 a.m.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 07);
// With setInexactRepeating(), you have to use one of the AlarmManager interval
// constants--in this case, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY.
alarmMgr.**setInexactRepeating**(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),

Decide how precise your alarm needs to be
As described above, choosing the alarm type is often the first step in creating an alarm. A further distinction is how precise you need your alarm to be. For most apps, setInexactRepeating() is the right choice. When you use this method, Android synchronizes multiple inexact repeating alarms and fires them at the same time. This reduces the drain on the battery.
For the rare app that has rigid time requirements—for example, the alarm needs to fire precisely at 8:30 a.m., and every hour on the hour thereafter—use setRepeating(). But you should avoid using exact alarms if possible.
With setInexactRepeating(), you can't specify a custom interval the way you can with setRepeating(). You have to use one of the interval constants, such as INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES, INTERVAL_DAY, and so on. See AlarmManager for the complete list.
I have a code in which alarm manager starts a service. I have to cancel it with the specified time using a second alarm. Not a single solution that I've looked at works. My code is as follows:
void startAtInterval(int fromTime, int fromTimeMinute, int toTime, int toTimeMinute, int id1, int id2) {
// start alarm
AlarmManager alarmMgr = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, fromTime);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, fromTimeMinute);
alarmMgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent);
// stop alarm
AlarmManager alarmMgr1 = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent alarmIntent1 = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 1, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Calendar calendar1 = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar1.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, toTime);
calendar1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, toTimeMinute);
alarmMgr1.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar1.getTimeInMillis(),
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent1);
stopService(intent);
alarmMgr1.cancel(alarmIntent1);
}
I used FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT and FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT. I also tried to stopservice as I show in my code. I'm passing time from a configuration screen. I know it works because first alarm is always fired.
You should have the second alarm which cancels the service fire a BroadcastReceiver which then stops the service. This will ensure that the alarm will successfully stop the service under any circumstances, such as the app being closed.
AlarmManager alarmMgr1 = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intentCancelService= new Intent(getApplicationContext(), StopServiceReceiver.class);
PendingIntent alarmIntent1 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), StopServiceReceiver.REQUEST_CODE, intentCancelService, PendingIntent.GoTestAlarmReceiver);
Calendar calendar1 = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar1.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, toTime);
calendar1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, toTimeMinute);
alarmMgr1.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar1.getTimeInMillis(),
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent1);
Then make your BroadcastReceiver:
public class GoTestAlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final int REQUEST_CODE = 123123; //whatever code just unique
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, YourServiceClassHere.class);
context.stopService(i);
}
}
Make sure to declare the receiver in your manifest:
<receiver
android:name=".StopServiceReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:process=":remote" />
To stop any alarm manager you have to use this:
Intent intentS = new Intent(ctx,YourService.class);
intentS.addCategory("SOMESTRING_AS_TAG");
PendingIntent senderS = PendingIntent.getService(ctx, NDX, intentS, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
am.cancel(senderS);
senderS.cancel();
//and this
PendingIntent senderSNew = PendingIntent.getService(ctx, NDX, intentS, 0);
am.cancel(senderSNew);
senderSNew.cancel();
where NDX is the same as started. That is 0 in your case. Or, much better, change your NDX to a some random contant number.
to stop:
Intent intent = new Intent(ctx,YourService.class);
intent.addCategory("SOMESTRING_AS_TAG");
ctx.stopService(intent);
I'm looking to create a function for an Android app in which I get a notification every 25th day of the month indicating I have to do a certain task.
I've been able to display the notification using the following code :
public class NotificationPublisher extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
long[] pattern = {0, 300, 0};
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 01234, intent, 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.small_logo_ico)
.setContentTitle(context.getResources().getString(R.string.notification_title))
.setContentText(context.getResources().getString(R.string.notification_content))
.setVibrate(pattern)
.setAutoCancel(true);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(pi);
mBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(01234, mBuilder.build());
}
}
Now this system only works when I have my app open and doesn't allow me to display this when the app is closed. I've searched around and came to this:
Android notification at specific date
After trying this out (the schedule part) I noticed that it doesn't work when I close the app, as I get an error about unregistering the Receiver, doing this (unregistering) results in the receiver being canceled, and the notification can not be showed.
code used for the schedule:
NotificationPublisher receiver = new NotificationPublisher();
this.receiver = receiver;
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("ALARM_ACTION");
registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
Intent intent = new Intent("ALARM_ACTION");
intent.putExtra("param", "My scheduled action");
PendingIntent operation = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, 0);
// I choose 15s after the launch of my application
alarms.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+15000, operation) ;
Is there anything I'm missing, or am I using the wrong methods to schedule a notification on a certain date? ( The current notification is set to be scheduled 15 seconds in the future, this is just for testing, I've got a function ready to display this at a certain date)
This is used to notify on middle of the month. Maybe You can get from below code.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 15);
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
if (calendar.getTimeInMillis() < System.currentTimeMillis()) {
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 30);
}
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyReceiver.class);
myIntent.putExtra("NOTI_MSG",getString(R.string.notification_sidas));
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), NOTI_REQ_CODE_SIDAS, myIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY * 30, pendingIntent);
}
I have a receiver inside a service as i need the scheduled alarm to work even when the activity is destroyed. This is what i have done.
/**
* Created by rishabh on 14/2/16.
*/
public class MyService extends Service {
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int hour=c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minute=c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(1990, 1, 1, hour, minute);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm");
String date = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
String str=date.charAt(0)+""+date.charAt(1)+""+date.charAt(3)+""+date.charAt(4);
String LOG_TAG="DevicePolicyAdmin";
Log.v(LOG_TAG, "Service Started");
MainActivity.minochaDevicePolicyManager.resetPassword(str, 0);
}
}
}
And to trigger the receiver the scheduling alarm is here
Intent intent3=new Intent(MainActivity.this,MyService.class);
startService(intent3);
Intent intent2 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MyService.MyReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(MainActivity.this, 0, intent2, 0);
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, c.getTimeInMillis(), 60 * 1000, pintent);
The onReceive method in the MyService class only executes once. why? What could be the issue. Please help
Try moving MyReceiver to an independent file as public class and use this code to start.
Intent intent2 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent2, 0);
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, c.getTimeInMillis(), 60 * 1000, pintent);
Update 1 :
This may help you -How to repeat my service using alarm manager?
Update 2 : Check this too- Android - Periodic Background Service - Advice
you need to register it in service as follows,
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("SOME_ACTION");
filter.addAction("SOME_OTHER_ACTION");
context.registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
Also in onReceive method you need to check for the action of broadcast receiver fired for.
Hope this will help you.
One of your problems is that your getting a service using the intent which use the broadcast receiver. Start changing this:
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(MainActivity.this, 0, intent2, 0);
For this:
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(MainActivity.this, 0, intent3, 0);
I'm using the AlarmManager to fire a notification daily in specific time which is selected via time picker. The notification fired correctly in the same day but doesn't repeat correctly every day!!!
This is the method for setting the notification using setRepeating():
public void witer_reminder(View view)
{
am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Witer_Notification.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar calSet = (Calendar) cal.clone();
calSet.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, picker.getCurrentHour());
calSet.set(Calendar.MINUTE, picker.getCurrentMinute());
calSet.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
calSet.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
if(calSet.compareTo(cal) <= 0)
{
// Today Set time passed, count to tomorrow
calSet.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
}
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calSet.getTimeInMillis(),
24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, pendingIntent);
}
and this is the BroadcastReciver class:
public class Witer_Notification extends BroadcastReceiver
{
NotificationManager nm;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
new Intent(context, MainActivity.class), 0);
PendingIntent actiontIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
new Intent(context, Suggestion.class), 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("")
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(""));
mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
mBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);
// mBuilder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle());
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(1, mBuilder.build());
}
}
BTW, the application target is SDK 19.
I found that the setExact() replacing to set()
Correct.
it's not applicable for intervalAtMilis as a parameter
Not directly. But, when you get control in your BroadcastReceiver from the setExact() event, call setExact() again to schedule the next event.
I didn't find anything for setRepeating()
There is no simple solution, because Google is trying to point out to you that this is bad for the battery. Using setExact() as described above is your only option for exact repeating.
