Don't start the notification When the activity already opened

Question

I set an AlarmManager to open notification every 24 hours.
But every time I open the activity, the notification starts.
So how to set it not to show the notification when the activity is already opened?

This is my AlarmManager code:

AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) this.getSystemService(this.ALARM_SERVICE);
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, myService.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, intent, 0);
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        long when = calendar.getTimeInMillis();         // notification time
        calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 20);
        calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);
        calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);
        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, when, 24*60*60*1000, pendingIntent);  //every 24 hours

Thanks ,

Your when variable points to the current time, hence the alarm will be fired right at execution of that part. Change `when` to `calendar.getTimeInMillis()`. Your calendar variable is set to the hour 20 of the day and repeating the day after.
