Notification not working after I close app

Question

I am working on an Android app, and have currently have notifications working on a set time and date by the user.

My issue is that after I set the time and date, and I close the app from the phone. But the notification does not work when I close the app.

This is my Broadcast Receiver class`

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    String text=intent.getStringExtra("param");
    List<String> content = Arrays.asList(text.split("\\s*,\\s*"));
    Uri soundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
    Intent intent1=new Intent(context.getApplicationContext(),HomeScreen.class);
    PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context.getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);

    Notification notif=new Notification.Builder(context.getApplicationContext()).setContentTitle(content.get(0))
            .setContentText(content.get(1))
            .setSound(soundUri)
            .setContentIntent(pIntent)
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcherplannerlogo)
            .build();

    notif.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

    // Play default notification sound
    notif.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;

    // Vibrate if vibrate is enabled
    notif.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;

    NotificationManager notifMan=(NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    notifMan.notify(0,notif);



}

This is my manifest file

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Have you tried using push notifications or services? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13741875/how-to-get-android-notifications-when-app-was-closed — Aaron, Sep 06 '16 at 03:46
Is the Service class supposed to be my Activity where user sets the time and date? — Jacob Abraham, Sep 06 '16 at 04:00

you should replace the PendingIntent line with the following:

PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE);

since PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE Flag indicates that if the described PendingIntent does not already exist

The notification does not appear at the set time. Like i said above if I DONT close the app and leave it running in the background then it works – Jacob Abraham Sep 06 '16 at 03:39

First Check When app is close OnReceive() method is Call or Not
if OnReceive() Method is calling, when app is close. try below Code. 


 PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    Uri soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
    NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext())
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcherplannerlogo)
            .setContentText(content.get(1))
            .setContentIntent(pIntent)
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .notificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());

How would i check? I cant track whats going on Android Studio as soon as I close the application. — Jacob Abraham, Sep 07 '16 at 00:13
