You can set repeating alarm for every day and show notification only those days that are needed on onReceive() function of the alarm BroadcastReceiver.

The logical way to control push notification timing is from server side but if you want to do it on your phone you must work with android os date and time and Java CALENDAR class.

The `Calendar` class (capital C then small letters) is poorly designed and long outdated. While I believe the alarm manager was designed to work with it, I still prefer to use `ZonedDateTime` and/or other classes from [`java.time`, the modern Java date and time API,](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/datetime/). Yes, you can use it on Android. For older Android see [desugaring](https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support-table) or [How to use ThreeTenABP …](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38922754/how-to-use-threetenabp-in-android-project). – Ole V.V.
