Question

hi ia m new to android..
i have developed a programme to set notification onspecific time
but the problem is it shows notification only of date before october 2011
if i enter any date of november its not showing any notification..
seems strange but really stuck here….

main activity..

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); // for using this you need to

    cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, 11);
    cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2011);
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 25);
    cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 18);
    cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 28);

    Intent alarmintent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
            AlarmReceiver.class);
    alarmintent.putExtra("title", "Title of our Notification");
    alarmintent.putExtra("note", "Description of our  Notification");


    int HELLO_ID = 1;
    PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
            getApplicationContext(), HELLO_ID, alarmintent,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | 
             Intent.FILL_IN_DATA);

    AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
    am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), sender);
}

and the alarm reciever activity…

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    private static final String NotificationManager = null;
    private static int NOTIFICATION_ID = 0;

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        (NotificationManager)getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        NotificationManager manger = (NotificationManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,
                "Combi Note", System.currentTimeMillis());
        PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
                NOTIFICATION_ID, new Intent(context, 
                  AlarmReceiver.class), 0);
        Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
        String title = extras.getString("title");

        String note = extras.getString("note");
        notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, note, title, contentIntent);
        notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_INSISTENT;
        notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;

    manger.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);

    }
};

You are setting an alarm for 5/5/2011, this date has passed so it is executed immediately.

When you receive a instance of Calendar, I think that the system automatically fills in the current date & time. So change only what you need to change (I.E if you want to send a notification in 5 days, change the day only in the calendar instance)

By the way, when clicking the notification it will, again, call your BroadcastReceiver and this time the intent won’t have the extras you have put in it while in the activity. When clicking the notification, you should launch an activity – not a broadcast receiver.
