So far and thanks to this website, I've been able to set up an alarm that will be set up and active, even if I turn of my phone.
Now, I set up a alarm to show a reminder for event A and I need the application to setup another alarm to show another reminder for event B.
I must be doing something wrong, because it only fires the reminder for event A. It seems that once set up, any other alarm is understood as the same one. :-(
Here is the detail of what I am doing in two steps:
1) From an activity I set an alarm that at certain time and date will call a receiver
Intent intent = new Intent(Activity_Reminder.this,
AlarmReceiver_SetOnService.class);
intent.putExtra("item_name", prescription
.getItemName());
intent
.putExtra(
"message",
Activity_Reminder.this
.getString(R.string.notif_text));
intent.putExtra("item_id", itemId);
intent.putExtra("activityToTrigg",
"com.companyName.appName.main.Activity_Reminder");
PendingIntent mAlarmSender;
mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
Activity_Reminder.this, 0, intent, 0);
long alarmTime = dateMgmt.getTimeForAlarm(pickedDate);
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTimeInMillis(alarmTime);
// Schedule the alarm!
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarmTime + 15000,
mAlarmSender);
2) From the receiver I call a service
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
String itemName = bundle.getString("item_name");
String reminderOrAlarmMessage = bundle.getString("message");
String activityToTrigg = bundle.getString("activityToTrigg");
int itemId = Integer.parseInt(bundle.getString("item_id"));
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService("notification");
CharSequence text = itemName + " "+reminderOrAlarmMessage;
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, text,
System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent newIntent = new Intent();
newIntent.setAction(activityToTrigg);
newIntent.putExtra("item_id", itemId);
CharSequence text1= itemName + " "+reminderOrAlarmMessage;
CharSequence text2= context.getString(R.string.notif_Go_To_Details);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0, newIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, text1, text2, pIntent);
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
nm.notify(itemId, notification);
Thanks in Advance,

You can set up multiple alarms by supplying different request code in pendingIntent.getBroadcast(......)
The approach which I used to setup multiple alarm is that I created a single alarm. I initialized a static integer in alarm setting class which will be incremented each time from my main activity whenever I click on "add alarm" button in my main activity. E.g.
MainActivity.java
AlarmActivity.java
Ok, when you set an PendingIntent, you're supposed to assign it a unique ID to it, incase you want to identify it later (for modifying/canceling it)
The Request code is that ID.
In your code, you keep resetting the SAME PendingIntent, instead use a different RequestCode each time.
It has to be an integer, i suppose you have a primaryid (itemId) that can identify Alarm A from Alarm B.
