android - AlarmManager not working

Question

I need to start the activity AlarmReceiver after 10 seconds (for example). I need it to be activated without running the app. But whether the app runs or not the AlarmReceiver do not get called. Any suggestions?

Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 111, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);

//alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis() 
                                          //+ (10 * 1000), pendingIntent);
Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm set", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Answer 1

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
          String message = "Hellooo, alrm worked ----";
          Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
          Intent intent2 = new Intent(context, TripNotification.class); 
          intent2.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
          context.startActivity(intent2);
    }

    public void setAlarm(Context context){
        Log.d("Carbon","Alrm SET !!");

        // get a Calendar object with current time
         Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
         // add 30 seconds to the calendar object
         cal.add(Calendar.SECOND, 30);
         Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class);
         PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 192837, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

         // Get the AlarmManager service
         AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(context.ALARM_SERVICE);
         am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), sender);
    }
}

This is the final code i managed to get working. You need to add

 <receiver  android:process=":remote" android:name="AlarmReceiver"></receiver>

just above the </application> tag in Manifest file.

This will set an alarm to trigger in 30 seconds after calling the method SetAlarm()
