I am Sending A Broadcast like this from my Activity that has an UI
//Code in my UI Activity
final String BROADCAST = "in.itechvalley.notification.MainActivity.android.ACTION.BROADCAST" ;
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter("in.itechvalley.notification.MainActivity.android.ACTION.BROADCAST");
in.itechvalley.notification.MainActivity rec = new in.itechvalley.notification.MainActivity();
Context context = getApplicationContext();
context.registerReceiver(rec, intentFilter);
Intent intent = new Intent(BROADCAST);
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
Log.d("MY TAG","Inside Broadcast");
My Manifest Declaration:
<receiver android:name="in.itechvalley.notification.MainActivity"
android:exported="false" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="in.itechvalley.notification.MainActivity.android.ACTION.BROADCAST"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And I've written a code in onReceive()
@Override //This is inside MainActivity Class that extends BroadcastReceiver
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.d("MY TAG", "Inside the onReceive");
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
c.set(year, month, day);
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 23);
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 3);
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
Toast.makeText(context, "Notification set for: "+ day +"/"+ (month+1) +"/"+ year, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
But when I am executing this app on my device, it Stops Working. I am getting an error "java.lang.RuntimeException....... I have pasted the LogCat

NOTE- I have read almost all the SO threads regarding this but coundn't find the solution. I am pretty much sure that this is an NPE but I don't know where am I getting NPE ?
PS - MainActivity doesnt have any user interface whereas UIActivity has the user interface and UIActivity is called first when application is started
Thank You For Help In Advance

Logcat says you trying to set the Calender before onServiceConnected call(actually before your system bound with Service) thats why it throws null pointer exception
.Add your setAlarmForNotification(Calendar c) call inside onServiceConnectedmethod
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
// This is called when the connection with our service has been established,
// giving us the service object we can use to interact with our service.
mBoundService = ((ScheduleService.ServiceBinder) service).getService();
//call your setcalendar here
}
