I'm trying to pass data to BroadcastReceiver thru PendingIntent of AlarmManager
In the example I'm trying to pass a String and a Parcelable Object, however when I try to read them in the BroadcastReceiver I get null
Activity
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent (this, ReminderBroadcast.class);
i.putExtra("ROUTINE", r);
i.putExtra("MESSAGE", "Example string");
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,1234,i,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis() + 10000, pendingIntent);
BroadcastReceiver
public class ReminderBroadcast extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(LOG_TAG,"notification code is "+ getResultCode());
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "message is: "+ intent.getStringExtra("MESSAGE"));
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "routine " + ((Routine)(intent.getParcelableExtra("ROUTINE"))).getRoutineName());
}
}
Manifest
<activity android:name=".SetupNotificationActivity" />
<receiver android:name=".support.ReminderBroadcast"
android:enabled="true" />
This is driving me crazy, as all the solution found on the internet suggest to put PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT to solve the issue, but that seems not to work.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
To anyone who may incur in the same problem, I found the solution.
The issue was caused by a problem in the Parcelization of the item, which was however not creating any Exception.
So removed that everything worked fine
Thanks for the support

I am getting a problem with my reminder APP.
When I add first reminder broadcast is received once for second time broadcast is received twice for third time it is received thrice.
I tried many different solutions on StackOverfolow but none of them are working
Kindly help me out with detailed answer.
Link to Project
. code is given below:
Function to set Reminder:
public void startAlarm(Calendar c) {
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlertReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, number, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, c.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
}
Class receiving Broadcast:
public class AlertReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, intent.getAction(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI);
mediaPlayer.start();
}
}
I see that you are setting the alarm inside Adapters onBindViewHolder. This is not the right place to setting alarm. Because when you call notifyDataSetChanged it will call onBindViewHolder again and it will set same alarm over and over.
I'm trying to set my alarm manager working, just simple schedule, firing toast every minute, but it's not working, what's wrong with the code?
Main Activity :
public void klik(View view) {
startalarm();
}
public void startalarm(){
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent;
PendingIntent pendingIntent;
intent = new Intent(this, AlarmToastReciever.class);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,0,intent,0);
manager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()+3000,+60000,pendingIntent);
}
}
AlarmToastReciever class :
public class AlarmToastReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){
Toast.makeText(context,"GOWNO", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
As stated in documentation
As of Android 4.4 (API Level 19), all repeating alarms are inexact. Note that while setInexactRepeating() is an improvement over setRepeating(), it can still overwhelm a server if every instance of an app hits the server around the same time. Therefore, for network requests, add some randomness to your alarms, as discussed above.
You can use "setInexactRepeating()" or set an exact one time alarm then set next alarm in On Receive method
Also make sure you added your receiver to the manifest file, between application tag, like
<receiver android:name=".AlarmToastReciever"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Use this code to initialize alarm manager.
public void setupAlarm() {
final Calendar calNow = Calendar.getInstance();
final Calendar calSet = (Calendar) calNow.clone();
calSet.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, calNow.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
calSet.set(Calendar.MINUTE, calNow.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + 1);
calSet.set(Calendar.SECOND, calNow.get(Calendar.SECOND));
final Intent intent = new Intent(this, UploadStarterReceiver.class);
final PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 1,
intent, 0);
final AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calSet.getTimeInMillis(),
60 * 1000, pendingIntent);
}
I'm trying to make an app that schedules an alarm at a certain time in which the user is suppose to take their medication. I have done everything that most guides and the documentation say it's required to setup the alarm. Here is the method I call when the user presses the button:
private void scheduleAlarm() {
Intent intentAlarm = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, alarmeID, intentAlarm, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarmeTime.getTimeInMillis(), pIntent);
}
Here is the AlarmReceiver.class
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Uri notification = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
Ringtone ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(context, notification);
ringtone.play();
}
}
and I have put these two lines in the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<receiver android:name=".services.AlarmReceiver"/>
And yet, my application is not working. The alarm doesn't go off. What am I doing wrong? What else is needed?
You are currently playing alarm ringtone from BroadcastReceiver. Instead of doing that, you can open an Activity and start playing alarm tone from there. You can use stop() method to stop it (may be from button click within the activity).
BroadcastReceiver
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//start activity
Intent i = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
context.startActivity(i);
}
NextActivity.class
//Start your ringtone here
Uri notification = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
Ringtone ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(context, notification);
ringtone.play();
//Somewhere inside button click
{
ringtone.stop();
}
Just copy pasting this won't work. I believe you can take concept from
here and implement as per your requirement.
And currently there is no any related code that will stop your ringtone.
Okay I am not really sure wither you are asking how to stop the alarm ? or that the alarm is not working at all after the user presses the button but anyhow.
I replaced The alarm with a repeated alarm and launched it using onCreate method and I closed the app and waited for the alarm to go off and it did!
And here is my code just in case:
private void scheduleAlarm() {
Intent intentAlarm = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, uniqueID, intentAlarm, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
// alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, 10000, pIntent);
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 1000, 1000, pIntent);
}
Everything else I copied and pasted from your code above.
Edit: If you are seeking the repeated alarm then this the page to go to:
https://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/alarms.html
note: my virtual device API is 24
Change the code as below -
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis() + 1000*60, pIntent);
May be your alarmeTime.getTimeInMillis() is not properly set. You can try the above line. It fires an alarm after 1 min.
I have two notification actions, one to stop the service and one to restart it.
I am successfully starting the service but I can't stop it with this code:
PendingIntent show = PendingIntent.getService(this, 1, svc, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
PendingIntent hide = PendingIntent.getService(this, 1, svc, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Any ideas?
Not a duplicate as my question is specifically about notification actions, not buttons (I have no problems getting my buttons to stop and start the service).
That flag alone will not stop the service. I would recommend that you make the stop action instead fire a custom BroadcastReceiver class which runs the stopService() method inside of its onReceive(). Let me know if you need help setting something like that up in more detail.
Edited answer:
Change your Intent and PendingIntent for the hide action to this:
Intent intentHide = new Intent(this, StopServiceReceiver.class);
PendingIntent hide = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, (int) System.currentTimeMillis(), intentHide, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
Then make the StopServiceReceiver like this, where ServiceYouWantStopped.class is the service to be stopped:
public class StopServiceReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final int REQUEST_CODE = 333;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent service = new Intent(context, ServiceYouWantStopped.class);
context.stopService(service);
}
}
Make sure the BroadcastReceiver you just made is declared in your manifest file:
<receiver
android:name=".StopServiceReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:process=":remote" />
Hope this helps!
I am new to Android and I would appreciate any help on this.
I am trying to use Alarm Manager so that it would call my BroadcastReceiver class at a specific time in future set by DatePicker and TimePicker widgets.
However, i cannot get the broadcastreceiver class to perform its function.
below is the code that i put in the manifest file for the broadcastreceiver class to receive the broadcast message from OS:
<receiver android:name="androidapp.scheduler.MyBroadcastReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MYBROADCASTRECEIVER" >
</action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And below is the code that i have put in my Next button's onclicklistener so that it would inform OS of the time of the call.
TimePicker myTp = (TimePicker)findViewById(R.id.tpTime);
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR,myDatePicker.getYear() );
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, myDatePicker.getMonth());
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, myDatePicker.getDayOfMonth());
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR, myTp.getCurrentHour());
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, myTp.getCurrentMinute());
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
Log.i("SCheduling", cal.getTime().toString());
Intent intent = new Intent(Scheduling.this, MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(Scheduling.this, 234324243, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
Intent nextForm = new Intent(this,Sender.class);
nextForm.putExtra("contacts", contacts);
startActivity(nextForm);
Log.i("SCheduling", "everything set");
Finally, MybroadcastReceivers class code is shown below:
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i("brreceiver", "BroadcastReciever");
Toast.makeText(context, "schedule set!.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
What am I missing here?
In the following statement change Scheduling.this to this.getApplicationContext()
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(Scheduling.this, 234324243, intent, 0);
it seems the code was correct, the problem was with the Emulator. I still don't know what was wrong with the emulator but i tested the code again and it worked and i did receive the log's output.
