Is there any local notification in Android?

Question

In my application I want to use the Local Notification. I don't know is there any local notification available in Android or not.

If yes then please give me any sample example to implement it.

Thanks.

Android doesn't really have a distinction between remote (push in Apple terms) and local notifications. You don't get a box pop up or any UI at all for free with Android's C2DM.

I think you just want to look at:

• http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html
• http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html

For doing something at a certain time you want to look at:

• http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html
