Answer 1

To schedule local notification you need to know some of the things which are used to schedule the notification like

BroadcastReceivers IntentFilters AlarmManager NotificationService PendingIntent

In MainActivity do the following

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

        Intent notificationIntent = new Intent("android.media.action.DISPLAY_NOTIFICATION");
        notificationIntent.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");

        PendingIntent broadcast = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 100, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.add(Calendar.SECOND, 15);
        alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), broadcast);
    }

The above code will schedule an alarm after 15 seconds. After 15 seconds it will broadcast the notificationIntent.

The action specified in the Intent constructor is defined in the AndroidManifest.xml
