You need to use the AlarmManager for precise time events, or JobSchedulers when timing is not that important. For the alarmmanager, use this tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidTaskScheduling/article.html

And for the in-app notifications do this: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidNotifications/article.html

This is guarantied to work. Any question send me a private message. Hope it helps!
