I have some troubles with creating a way to send notifications foreground when the timer hits 00:00.
I mean, i want that when the timer ends, it sends a notification event if the app is closed.
I already found a way to show notifications and to make a timer who works even if the app is closed.
But when i put the function to send notification at the end of the timer it only works when the app is opened.
There is my MainActivity.java
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
mTextViewCountDown = findViewById(R.id.timerTv);
mButtonStartPause = findViewById(R.id.btn_start_pause);
mButtonReset = findViewById(R.id.btn_reset);
mButtonStartPause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (mTimerRunning) {
pauseTimer();
} else {
startTimer();
}
}
});
mButtonReset.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
resetTimer();
}
});
}
private void startTimer() {
mEndTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + mTimeLeftInMillis;
mCountDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(mTimeLeftInMillis, 1000) {
@Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
mTimeLeftInMillis = millisUntilFinished;
updateCountDownText();
}
@Override
public void onFinish() {
mTimeLeftInMillis=0;
updateCountDownText();
mTimerRunning = false;
updateButtons();
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext(), CHANNEL_1_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_money)
.setContentTitle("Test 1")
.setContentText("Important Message")
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setCategory(NotificationCompat.CATEGORY_MESSAGE)
.build();
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}
}.start();
mTimerRunning = true;
updateButtons();
}
private void pauseTimer() {
mCountDownTimer.cancel();
mTimerRunning = false;
updateButtons();
}
private void resetTimer() {
mTimeLeftInMillis = START_TIME_IN_MILLIS;
updateCountDownText();
updateButtons();
}
private void updateCountDownText() {
int minutes = (int) (mTimeLeftInMillis / 1000) / 60;
int seconds = (int) (mTimeLeftInMillis / 1000) % 60;
String timeLeftFormatted = String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds);
mTextViewCountDown.setText(timeLeftFormatted);
}
private void updateButtons() {
if (mTimerRunning) {
mButtonReset.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
mButtonStartPause.setText("Pause");
} else {
mButtonStartPause.setText("Start");
if (mTimeLeftInMillis < 1000) {
mButtonStartPause.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
} else {
mButtonStartPause.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
if (mTimeLeftInMillis < START_TIME_IN_MILLIS) {
mButtonReset.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} else {
mButtonReset.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
}
}
@Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("pref", MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putLong("millisLeft", mTimeLeftInMillis);
editor.putBoolean("timerRunning", mTimerRunning);
editor.putLong("endTime", mEndTime);
editor.apply();
if (mCountDownTimer != null) {
mCountDownTimer.cancel();
}
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("pref", MODE_PRIVATE);
mTimeLeftInMillis = prefs.getLong("millisLeft", START_TIME_IN_MILLIS);
mTimerRunning = prefs.getBoolean("timerRunning", false);
updateCountDownText();
updateButtons();
if (mTimerRunning) {
mEndTime = prefs.getLong("endTime", 0);
mTimeLeftInMillis = mEndTime - System.currentTimeMillis();
if (mTimeLeftInMillis < 0) {
mTimeLeftInMillis = 0;
mTimerRunning = false;
updateCountDownText();
updateButtons();
} else {
startTimer();
}
}
}
}
