I have a small problem about alarmmanager but I couldn't find a answer which fits to my code.
My question is simple. I have a list of alarms which is set to future. While my app is running, I can recieve Notification.
But when I close my app, It doesn't send notification to me and if I run my app again, past notifications can be seen in notification center.
Here is my codes. In MainActivity.java I use this method which can take a Person List and sets alarm of each of Person. I run this method in onCreate()
private void createScheduledNotification(List<Person> people)
{
for(int i = 0; i<people.size();i++) {
// Get new calendar object
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, people.get(i).getMonth());
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, people.get(i).getDay());
calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR));
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, people.get(i).getHour());
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, people.get(i).getMinute());
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
// Retrieve alarm manager from the system
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(getBaseContext().ALARM_SERVICE);
// Every scheduled intent needs a different ID, else it is just executed once
int id = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();
// Prepare the intent which should be launched at the date
Intent intent = new Intent(this, TimeAlarm.class);
intent.putExtra("person", people.get(i));
// Prepare the pending intent
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), id, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Register the alert in the system. You have the option to define if the device has to wake up on the alert or not
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
}
}
And I have a TimeAlarm class which extends BroadcastReciever.
public class TimeAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
private Person person;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent paramIntent) {
Bundle bundle = paramIntent.getExtras();
person = (Person) bundle.getSerializable("person");
// Request the notification manager
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// Create a new intent which will be fired if you click on the notification
Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
// Attach the intent to a pending intent
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Create the notification
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.logo24px, "Never Forget", System.currentTimeMillis());
//
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "It's " + person.getName() + " " + person.getSname() + "'s Birthday!", "Celebrate his/her birthday! ",pendingIntent);
// Fire the notification
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}
}
Also I add these lines to AndroidManifest.xml
<receiver android:name=".TimeAlarm" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
It works fine when app is running but when I close my app in Active Applications page, it doesn't send any notification.
