ok, i did it by starting an activity after the service.
Intent fireAlarm = new Intent(context,
AlarmActivity.class);
fireAlarm.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(fireAlarm);
but Can I make this whole activity look like an alert showing in the
middle, as a dialog appears in an activity ?
i tried,
// Popup alert over black screen
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
lp.height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
lp.type = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT;
lp.token = null;
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);
getWindow().addFlags
(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
but the area outside the dialog is seen black, how can it be
transparent ?
