Android Broadcast Reciever to open an intent

Question

I have an android app which needs to generate a notification in regular intervals and when we click on the notification the message shown in the notification will be shown inside a TextView inside an activity of the Original application.

For that I've created an AlarmReceiver.java Class.

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
    {
        Log.d("ME", "Notification started");

        StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);


            NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
                                                    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_noticon)
                                                    .setContentTitle("Notification")
                                                    .setContentText("You have to open app to see this message in detail");


            NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
            mNotificationManager.notify(1, mBuilder.build());


            Intent resultIntent = new Intent("com.app.AlarmBack");
            TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
            stackBuilder.addParentStack(AlarmBack.class);
            stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
            PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0,PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
            mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);


    }    

also I've created the class for an intent called AlarmBack.java

public class AlarmBack extends MainActivity {


TextView tv_alert_back_display;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


    getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.alert_back, frameLayout);
    mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
    setTitle(mTitle);


    tv_alert_back_display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_alert_back_display);


    tv_alert_back_display.setText("This is the message that needs your attension");
}}

but the problem is that this doesn't work. It's not opening the intent that that want it to open. So, can somebody please help to solve my problem.

Call this in your AlarmReceiver OnRecieve method

int taskID = 1;
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(taskID, getNotification(context, "title", "content"));

And add this method in your Alarm Receiver

private Notification getNotification(Context context, String title, String content) {
    Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(context);
    builder.setContentTitle(title);
    builder.setContentText(content);
    builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon_64);
    builder.setAutoCancel(true);
    builder.setDefaults(android.app.Notification.DEFAULT_ALL);


    Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, SplashActivity.class); //Activity that you want to open
    TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
    stackBuilder.addParentStack(SplashActivity.class);              // Activity that you want to open
    stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
    PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
            stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
                    0,
                    PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
            );
    builder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
    return builder.getNotification();
}
