Edit: SOLVED! Ever wanted to set a notification from a specific date starting a certain point in time (when an activity is started or when a button is pressed?) Read more to find out how:
//Set a notification in 7 days
Calendar sevendayalarm = Calendar.getInstance();
sevendayalarm.add(Calendar.DATE, 7);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Receiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 001, intent, 0);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, sevendayalarm.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
Here's the code for the Receiver class
public class Receiver extends Service {
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Test.class);
long[] pattern = {0, 300, 0};
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 01234, intent, 0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.depressiontest)
.setContentTitle("Take Questionnaire")
.setContentText("Take questionnaire for Duke Mood Study.")
.setVibrate(pattern)
.setAutoCancel(true);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(pi);
mBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(01234, mBuilder.build());
}
}
And don't forget to add the below permissions in the manifest!
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<service android:name=".Receiver2" android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter> <action android:name="NOTIFICATION_SERVICE" /></intent-filter>
</service>
Don't forget to give the below manifest permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
Your broadcast receiver registrations would be like this
<receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="NOTIFICATION_SERVICE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
