Here's how to do it:
public class AlarmFired extends BroadcastReceiver {
private String type;
private int position;
private String reason;
private String value;
private String rbTax;
private static final int uniqueId = (int)System.currentTimeMillis();
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD1 **********************");
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD1+
**********************");
position = extras.getInt("position");
type = extras.getString("type");
value = extras.getString("value");
reason = extras.getString("reason");
showNotification(context);
//setNextAlarm(context);
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD4
**********************");
} else {
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO2
**********************");
}
}
private void showNotification(Context context) {
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD100
**********************");
NotificationManager mgr =
(NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD5a
**********************");
int icon = (type.equalsIgnoreCase("expense")) ?
R.drawable.ico_statusbar_expense : R.drawable.ico_statusbar_income;
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD5b
**********************");
Notification note = new Notification(icon, "Wallet Manager",
System.currentTimeMillis());
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD6 **********************");
Intent intent = new Intent(context, RescheduleAlarm.class);
intent.putExtra("notificationId", uniqueId);
intent.putExtra("position", position); // Spinner
position defining
repetition
intent.putExtra("reason", reason);
intent.putExtra("value", value);
intent.putExtra("rbTax", rbTax);
intent.putExtra("type", type);
PendingIntent i = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent,
0);
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD5d**********************");
note.setLatestEventInfo(context, "Notification Title", "This is
the
notification message", i);
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD5e**********************");
note.vibrate = new long[] { 100, 250, 100, 500};
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD6e **********************");
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD7a **********************");
mgr.notify(uniqueId, note);
Log.d("exp", "**************BUENO JD7 **********************");
}
public void setNextAlarm(Context context) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmFired.class);
intent.putExtra("position", position); // Spinner
position defining
repetition
intent.putExtra("reason", reason);
intent.putExtra("value", value);
intent.putExtra("rbTax", rbTax);
intent.putExtra("type", type);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0,
intent, 0);
AlarmManager am =
(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
long nextAlarm = getNextAlarmMillis(position);
//am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, nextAlarm, sender);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 20);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
sender);
}
