Am working on an Alarm Application which works on a scheduled time , and i want it to work when the Users have launched the App or not (Both).
Meaning the Application will notify like Usual Alarms
Now i came to the point when i wanted to call a broadcastReceiver
inside a Service
so that , it performs that action.
What i noticed :
1.When i use a
Broadcast
, the Alarm Notification comes only when i have opened the App. 2.When i use aService
the Alarm comes only when am outside the Application(When it's not launched), (Here i place my code in the OnStartCommand()).
So i came to a conclusion of adding both of them to make a Scheduled notification when the App is both opened or closed. But i don't know how
Now The source codes are below.
Below is my Service
.
namespace Diabetes.Droid.Resources
{
[Service]
public class AppStickyService : Service
{
public override void OnCreate()
{
base.OnCreate();
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Sticky Service - Created");
}
public override StartCommandResult OnStartCommand(Android.Content.Intent intent, StartCommandFlags flags, int startId)
{
return StartCommandResult.Sticky;
}
public override Android.OS.IBinder OnBind(Android.Content.Intent intent)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Sticky Service - Binded");
return null;
}
public override void OnDestroy()
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Sticky Service - Destroyed");
base.OnDestroy();
}
}
}
my BroadCast

MainApplication class
This class is the one which initializes the Alarm to start working.
namespace Diabetes.Droid
{
[Application]
public class MainApplication : Application
{
ISetAlarm alarmService;
public static Context AppContext;
public MainApplication()
{
}
public MainApplication(IntPtr handle, JniHandleOwnership transer) : base(handle, transer)
{
}
public override void OnCreate()
{
base.OnCreate();
AppContext = this.ApplicationContext;
SetAlarm(12, 22, title, message);
}
public void SetAlarm(int hour, int minute, string title, string message)
{
AppContext.StartService(new Intent(AppContext, typeof(AppStickyService)));
Intent myintent = new Intent(Android.App.Application.Context, typeof(AppStickyService));
myintent.PutExtra("message", message);
myintent.PutExtra("title", title);
//PendingIntent pendingintent = PendingIntent.GetBroadcast(Android.App.Application.Context, 0, myintent, PendingIntentFlags.UpdateCurrent);
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.GetService(AppContext, 0, myintent, 0);
Java.Util.Date date = new Java.Util.Date();
Java.Util.Calendar cal = Java.Util.Calendar.Instance;
cal.TimeInMillis = Java.Lang.JavaSystem.CurrentTimeMillis();
cal.Set(Java.Util.CalendarField.HourOfDay, hour);
cal.Set(Java.Util.CalendarField.Minute, minute);
cal.Set(Java.Util.CalendarField.Second, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = Android.App.Application.Context.GetSystemService(Android.Content.Context.AlarmService) as AlarmManager;
alarmManager.Set(AlarmType.RtcWakeup, cal.TimeInMillis, pintent);
alarmManager.Cancel(pintent);
}
private Boolean isMyServiceRunning()
{
ActivityManager man_ = (ActivityManager)Android.App.Application.Context.GetSystemService(Context.ActivityService);
foreach (Android.App.ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo service in man_.GetRunningServices(int.MaxValue))
{
if (typeof(AppStickyService).Name.Equals(service.Service.ClassName))
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
public void StartService()
{
AppContext.StartService(new Intent(AppContext, typeof(AppStickyService)));
if (Android.OS.Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= Android.OS.BuildVersionCodes.Kitkat)
{
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.GetService(AppContext, 0, new Intent(AppContext, typeof(AppStickyService)), 0);
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager)AppContext.GetSystemService(Context.AlarmService);
//alarm.Cancel(pintent);
}
}
public static void StopService()
{
AppContext.StopService(new Intent(AppContext, typeof(AppStickyService)));
if (Android.OS.Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= Android.OS.BuildVersionCodes.Kitkat)
{
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.GetService(AppContext, 0, new Intent(AppContext, typeof(AppStickyService)), 0);
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager)AppContext.GetSystemService(Context.AlarmService);
alarm.Cancel(pintent);
}
}
}
}
Now how can i perfect my Local Notification to be like the usual Alarms in android mobile devices
