Hi all,

I’m doing a project that involves a person to select a date and it will notificate him at that time. he can have multiple different notifications. basically a reminder system. Since Android local notification system depends on app not beeing terminated, will I beeing able to do this task with success? the notifications can have 1 year interval, and the app could easy not been open in months since it’s not an every day use app. There are too many ways to terminate apps on Android, and I guess this project while is doable on theory in practice will fail most of the times. I’m thinking it wrong? anyone done this kinda of app with success?

regards,

like you said there are too many ways to terminate an app on android you will never have a 100% thrust notification system on android. but I remember doing a project using notifications with long periods and it worked fine for what i needed.

You can try build your code…and try to break it using 3party apps that clean memory and other stuff. I could not break it so I was good with that. I warned the users of the app that the notifications could be broken if they use 3party apps to clean and terminate apps.

What i did to make sure my notifications where up, was each time the app was called i would “refresh” the notifications…even if they where broken they would go up again. the only problem in this solution is that if the user don’t use the app for a year…the problem is still there. but if your users don’t use your app for a year…i guess the problem is not the notification system :wink:
