How to get PendingIntent id for canceling pendingintent

Question

I have been working with an Alarm Manager. Once I set a PendingIntent for triggering the alarm, I want to cancel it.

How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

These following code will remove/cancel the pending intent and alarm.

The main thing that you will need is:

• Create pending intent with the same id and appropriate intent FLAG.
• Cancel that pending intent.
• Cancel the alarm using alarm manager.

Code:

    Intent myIntent = new Intent(PresentActivity.this, AlarmActivity.class);          
    pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(PresentActivity.this,pending_intent_unique_id, myIntent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    pendingIntent.cancel();
    alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
