I have an android application that gets data from the web such as an event title, location, date and time. I’d like to alert the user when it is time for the event. I’ve tried using the calendar API but that seems to be quite vague and unsupported by android. Are there any other ways to alert a user when there is an upcoming event based on the date and time I supply? Being able to set an alarm or something would do as well.

Status bar notifications or Toast would be the classic way. Read:
