I have a little question. I set my notifications in specific times using AlarmManager. The times I set notifications for are stored in SQLLite database. They all work perfect except the moment I reboot the phone. alarmManager looses their repeatings of course.
I would like to ask what is the best solution in this situation? I have my alarmManager set in MainActivity and I set my notification inside BroadcastReceiver as you can see in the code below:
Here is how I call it from MainActivity:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyReceiver.class);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_TITLE, title);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_COUNT, count);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, count, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), WEEK_LENGTH_MS, pendingIntent);
And here is Broadcast Receiver's method onReceive
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
nm = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
CharSequence from = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
CharSequence message = intent.getStringExtra(DayActivity.EXTRA_TITLE);
Intent intentNotification = new Intent(context,DayActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, intent.getIntExtra(DayActivity.EXTRA_COUNT,0), intentNotification, 0);
Notification notif = new Notification(R.drawable.notification_logo,context.getString(R.string.app_name), System.currentTimeMillis());
notif.setLatestEventInfo(context, from, message, contentIntent);
notif.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
notif.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL | Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
nm.notify(intent.getIntExtra(DayActivity.EXTRA_COUNT,0), notif);
}
I am declaring BroadcastReceiver for BOOT_COMPLETED event, but it always calls just empty notification at the time i start the phone and never more.
I would like to ask what is the best solution in this situation?
Register a BOOT_COMPLETED
BroadcastReceiver
to call setRepeating()
on AlarmManager
to re-establish your schedules.

The objective of the BOOT_COMPLETED
BroadcastReceiver
should be to reschedule your alarms. You might wish to consider using a separate BroadcastReceiver
than the one you are using for the alarm events themselves.
