I'm using the StatusBarNotification plugin (Android) for Phonegap to fire a notification. Now I want to to this at a specific time, and from what I've read I have to use Android's AlarmManager. I've tried some approaches, but can't seem to get it to work.
Any suggestions on how I can do this?
EDIT: I can get the notification to show if I put the code in onReceive() to showNotification(). The problem seems to be that the receiver doesn't receive the Alarm-thingy. Probably because I don't have the right action in the IntentFilter.
this is my code. I've build it from the StatusBarNotification plugin for Phonegap, found here
public class StatusBarNotification extends Plugin {
// Action to execute
public static final String ACTION="notify";
private Context context;
BroadcastReceiver receiver;
public StatusBarNotification() {
this.receiver = null;
}
public void setContext(PhonegapActivity ctx) {
super.setContext(ctx);
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(); //Dunno what to put here
if(receiver == null) {
this.receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("Notification", "inside onReceive");
/*int icon = R.drawable.notification;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, context.getClass());
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
Notification noti = new Notification(icon, "NOTIFICATION", when);
noti.setLatestEventInfo(context, "TITLE", "TEXT", contentIntent);
manager.notify(1, noti);
*/
}
};
ctx.registerReceiver(this.receiver, intentFilter);
}
}

@Override
