I am trying to call a method in my MainActivity class from another class using an AlarmManager.
I found this question which helped me call the method but when the app is closed, and the AlarmManager is still running it gives a NullPointerException error.
Another solution which would work for me is to have getBatteryLevel() inside my AlarmRec class. When I try this I get the error - Cannot resolve method registerReceiver(null, android.content.IntentFilter).
My MainActivity class:
package com.ds.shutdown;

else {
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
//I also tried i.addFlags
i.putExtra("CALL_METHOD", true);
context.startActivity(i);
