Answer 1

Alarm manager is not a user notification system but an event for the phone to wake up and do something at a certain time.

Notifications are what you would use to notify the user of an event.

You can wire this all together using a BroadcastReceiver to capture the alarm manager events and start a notification.

Here's a simple example of how to do it.
