Set timed status bar notification

Question

I want to activate a notification when I press a button, at certain hour for this example 12:56 so I used this in my code:

Button notificationButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

    notificationButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this , Notify("Title: Meeting with Business",
                   "Msg:Pittsburg 10:00 AM EST "));     
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
       PendingIntent pendingIntent1 = PendingIntent.getService(MainActivity.this, 0, myIntent, 0);

        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
            calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12);
        calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 56);
        calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);

       alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 24*60*60*1000 , pendingIntent1);

and i created a class named Notify which contains these codes :

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    private Class<?> Notify(String notificationTitle, String    notificationMessage) {
        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
           @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
           Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,
             "New Message", System.currentTimeMillis());
           notification.setLatestEventInfo(getBaseContext(),   notificationTitle, notificationMessage, null);
        notificationManager.notify();

        return null;
    }

after running the app i get this error :

My final goal is to set notification for tomorrow, next week and next month, and if you know how to use a method that is not deprecated I'll be very thankful to know, I also didn't have any receiver or implementation in manifest if there is needed such tell me.

Answer 1

Below is the activity with button click event. It will set the alarm with particular time. It will inform the broadcast receiver.

Button notificationButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

notificationButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this , WakeUpReceiver.class);  
        myIntent.setAction("com.intent.action.MEETING_BUSINESS");
        myIntent.putExtra("Title","Meeting with Business");
        myIntent.putExtra("Message","Pittsburg 10:00 AM EST");

        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(YourActivityName.this, 0,  myIntent , PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);    

        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12);
        calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 56);
        calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);

        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 24*60*60*1000 , pendingIntent);
    }
}

The broadcast receiver is actually responsible for firing the notification.

In your Android manifest.xml file add this intent filter and register the receiver:

<receiver android:name="com.package.WakeUpReceiver">
   <intent-filter>
       <action android:name="com.intent.action.MEETING_BUSINESS" />
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Define the broadcast receiver class:

packager com.package;

public class WakeUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    String action =  intent.getAction();
        if(action.equals("com.intent.action.MEETING_BUSINESS")){
            String title = intent.getStringExtra("Title");
            String message = intnet.getStringExtra("Message");

            // if you want to open the application when click on notification 
            // then pass the activity name here.
            PendingIntent intent1 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0, intent, 0); //<- pass your activity name here.

            Notification n  = new Notification.Builder(context)//<-- pass the context
            .setContentTitle(title)
            .setContentText(message)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
            .setContentIntent(intent1)
            .setAutoCancel(true).build();

            NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
            notificationManager.notify(0, n); 
        }
    }
}
