Set notification to specific time

Question

I would like my notification to run at 12:00pm everyday. How do you replace the when value with a time?

NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notify = new Notification(R.drawable.icon,"Its Time to Eat",when);

Context context = GrubNOWActivity.this;
CharSequence title = "Its Time to Eat";
CharSequence details = "Click Here to Search for Restaurants";
Intent intent = new Intent(context,Search.class);
PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
notify.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, details, pending);
nm.notify(0,notify);

You can use an alarm manager

Intent myIntent = new Intent(ThisApp.this , myService.class);     
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(ThisApp.this, 0, myIntent, 0);

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);

alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 24*60*60*1000 , pendingIntent);  //set repeating every 24 hours

and put the notification inside myService class!

The when parameter is for sorting the notifications in the status bar. You should code your app such that it fires the notification at the desired time.
