Notifications While App Is Closed

[Andy Crowther]

Can someone point me in the right direction of how I use notifications, I assume from a service?

I will have objects with due dates, I will want to go through all the objects at a certain time each day and notify the user of any due.

I don't mind reading up or watching videos, but I need to know what they are called, so I can Google them

Thanks!

For reacting to notifications it's irrelevant whether the app is running. You just need to set up the app to handle the Intent that's wrapped in the notification. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html has all the details on notifications.

Okay, great. Thanks. I'll look into it further.

Just to check, it's not about reacting to the notification that I'm asking, it's triggering it in the first place.  If the app isn't running, how would I make it notify me that a certain condition has been met?

[Tim Moores]

If the app isn't running it will be started if its manifest matches the wrapped Intent.

Okay, thanks.
