[Java for Android App Development] hiphop12ism:
Hi Everyone! I was working on an app, which needed to give a remainder on a certain time, by triggering a notification. The app seemed to work fine on the emulator. But, the notification never shows up on a real phone.

The service which sends the broadcast.

package com.example.tanmay.yourdiary;

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.app.IntentService;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;
import android.app.TaskStackBuilder;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.support.v4.content.LocalBroadcastManager;
import android.util.Log;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;

/**

*/
public class MyService extends IntentService {

public MyService() {
super("com.example.tanmay.yourdiary");
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
final Context context = this;
final Intent i = new Intent("com.example.tanmay.yourdiary.MyReceiver");
i.setAction("com.example.tanmay.yourdiary.MyReceiver");
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
while(true){
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
String g="";
g=sdf.format(c.getTime());
Log.i("dd",g);
if(g.equals("05:23")){
Log.i("d3d",g);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context).sendBroadcast(i);
try {
Thread.sleep(24*60*60*1000);
stopSelf();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
try {
Thread.sleep(20000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}).start();

return START_STICKY;
}

@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}

@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {

}
}

The receiver

package com.example.tanmay.yourdiary;

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.TaskStackBuilder;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Build;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.util.Log;

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public MyReceiver() {
}

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO: This method is called when the BroadcastReceiver is receiving
// an Intent broadcast.
Log.i("dfdfg", "bc rec");
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher).setContentTitle("Reminder").setContentText("Time to write your thoughts!");
TaskStackBuilder taskstackbuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
taskstackbuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
Intent i = new Intent(context,Writing.class);

taskstackbuilder.addNextIntent(i);
PendingIntent ip = taskstackbuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.setContentIntent(ip);

NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

manager.notify(1,builder.build());

}
}
