I am working on an app that will remind the user of a particular event at a specific time and date. I have set the notifications correctly but they sometimes work and sometimes not.
I am using put extra and get extra to send clicked position to my receiver class(sending position from BuddhaEvent class to Myreceiver class). So if user clicks on position 1 then notification 1 should be triggered from the message class. I am put log statements in each position call please check it.
The output of the log statement is like this:
POSITION0 : 0
POSITION0 : 0
POSITION1: 1
POSITION0 : 0
POSITION2 : 2
And this is the log statement when 4 notifications are shown
POSITION0 : 0
POSITION0 : 0
POSITION1: 1
POSITION0 : 0
POSITION2 : 2
POSITION0 : 0
POSITION3 : 3
There is a pattern here, 0 is always being called before a notification!!!
I don’t know what’s going on. The first notification works fine but after that the notifications are just random. Most of the times notifications 2 and 3 come at the same time and sometimes 2 waits for the 3 to come. Another problem I noticed is that when I slide down for notifications, all of the notifications have the same time of delivery. I have set different id for each notification.
What I am thinking is that, the put extra and get extra are done incorrectly. I would really appreciate if someone can help me figure out the problem.
UPDATE: SO WHEN I CLICK FIRST ITEM IN THE LIST, NOTIFICATION 1 SHOWS UP. IF I CLICK ON ITEM 2, THEN NOTIFICATION 1 AND 2 SHOW UP AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN I CLICK ON ITEM 3 NOTIFICATION 3 AND 1 SHOW UP. Thanks in advance
UPDATE2: THE PROGRAM WAS CALLING 0 EVERY TIME, I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE PUT POSITION0 TO SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND NOW ONLY ONE NOTIFICATION SHOWS AT TIME(THIS ONLY WORKS WHEN TIME HAS PASSED) BUT WHEN I TRY TO SCHEDULE NOTIFICATIONS EVENTS SAME PROBLEM EXITS(LIKE SHOWING TWO NOTIFICATIONS AT THE SAME TIME).

You should use setExact method in order to archive exact time of alarm firing.
But main your problem is that bundle.getInt("position0")==0 will be always true when there is no position0 in bundle, because of:
Returns the value associated with the given key, or 0 if no mapping of the desired type exists for the given key.
So, in order to fix that, pass position:
intent.putExtra("position", position);
and then check it like that inside broadcast receiver:
int position = bundle.getInt("position");
switch (position):
case 0:
utils.generateNotification(context);
break;
case 1:
utils.generateNotification1(context);
break;
