与 AlarmManager 和服务一起使用时，通知在 Android 中不起作用

Question

I was creating a simple notification app, but which is not showing any notification. I have used BroadcastReceiver and service for showing it up. It doesn't showing any errors but still not working.

MainActivity.java

package com.example.myapplication;

import android.app.AlarmManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class MainActivity extends  AppCompatActivity
{
    int NOTIFICATION_REMINDER_NIGHT = 1;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        setBroadcast(this);


    }

    void setBroadcast(Context context)
    {
        Intent notifyIntent = new Intent(this, MyReceiver.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast
                (context, NOTIFICATION_REMINDER_NIGHT, notifyIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,  System.currentTimeMillis(),
                1000 * 60 * 15, pendingIntent);
    }
}

MyNewIntentService.java

package com.example.myapplication;

import android.app.IntentService;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentSender;

import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.core.app.NotificationManagerCompat;

public class MyNewIntentService extends IntentService
{
    private static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, new Notification());
    }

    /**
     * @param name
     * @deprecated
     */
    public MyNewIntentService(String name) {
        super(name);
    }

    public MyNewIntentService(){
        super("service");
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(@Nullable Intent intent)
    {
        Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this);
        builder.setContentTitle("My title");
        builder.setContentText("This is the body");
        builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_background);

        Intent notifyIntent  = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,2, notifyIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

        Notification notificationCompat = builder.build();

        NotificationManagerCompat managerCompat = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
        managerCompat.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notificationCompat);
    }
}

MyReceiver.java

package com.example.myapplication;


import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Build;

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        Intent intent1 = new Intent(context, MyNewIntentService.class);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            context.startForegroundService(new Intent(context, MyNewIntentService.class));
        } else {
            context.startService(new Intent(context, MyNewIntentService.class));
        }

    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml

        <receiver android:name=".MyReceiver"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="false"/>

    </application>

</manifest>

what's the problem? is there any os validations. Thanks.

Answer 1

This error is likely because you're just using an empty notification. Take your logic from onHandleIntent , and use it to construct the notification when calling context.startForeground(...)

Also, AlarmManager::setRepeating is not reliable in modern versions of Android. I would recommend you use setAlarmClock or setExactAndAllowWhileIdle instead.

I have a complete example of an alarm app on my GitHub here , which may be useful for you.
