My goal is to implement a notification that appears on a user-chosen time of day. I already tried Service
, this works but the problem is it needs a lot of background process (the code is below) and the other one was AlarmManager
but this seems not to work properly, especially on API 19+ . I could not find an up-to-date well-coded tutorial or a useful answer on a similar question here on stackoverflow so I turn to you.
All of you know: If a friend text you an Whatsapp you get a notification even when your phone is off or in sleep(screen off). Im sure some of you already implemented something like this.
The task precisely: My app shall notify the user every day once about his scheduled events in his calendar.
For example: He has chosen 13:00 (I'm using always 24h format) to remind him about his events. He scheduled 2 events on next day: - Drive kids to school - Go to gym
Next day at 13:00 the app shows a notification: "You have two events for today!: 1)... 2)..."
Filling the notification with the informations is not the problem. This works fine and I tested it a lot. Im missing only the well-coded background-thread thats watching for the user-chosen time to show the notification.
Please note :
The TimerTask ticks-intervall is 1000ms (1second). Im sure this is not well-coded but it works. But Im searching for a better and more battery-friendly solution.
Moreover I added the "android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" and "android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" permission.
The service is flagged as START_STICKY

Use AlarmManager to schedule Intent
s that your service will receive and process at a desired time. It does work if configured properly.
