Question

Hi
In my android application i would like to set alarm for particular time.
I am using the below code.I am able to view the toast but no ring or alert is observed.
Could anyone please let me know if i can display the toast with an default alarm tone.

  int newAlarmPeriod = 15000; // For debugging  
    Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(this, GroupsCheckAlarmReceiver.class); 
    PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,0,alarmIntent, 0); 
    AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE); 
    am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+ newAlarmPeriod, newAlarmPeriod, sender); 



public class GroupsCheckAlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{   
@Override  
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {     
     Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm worked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
    Log.d("XXX", "GroupsCheckAlarmReceiver.onReceive");   }

}

Do i need to set any manifest permissions except receiver registery.

Please share your valuable suggestions.

Thanks in advance 🙂

You probably want to add a standard Notification call as described in this link to your GroupsCheckAlarmReceiver#onReceive method.
