Is there any local notification in Android?

Question

In my application I want to use the Local Notification. I don't know is there any local notification available in Android or not.

If yes then please give me any sample example to implement it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Android doesn't really have a distinction between remote (push in Apple terms) and local notifications. You don't get a box pop up or any UI at all for free with Android's C2DM.

I think you just want to look at:

• http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html
• http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html

For doing something at a certain time you want to look at:

• http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html

Ok Thanks for the Answer. Let me check it. – Anomie

I want the notification like that if i have set the notofication in to the application for perticular time and date then the device should display the message at that time even if the application is close. The message should be of any form or like the dialog. Is it possible? – Anomie

For the "at a certain time" stuff, look at developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html – Indulgent
