Answer 1

You should create service.

In your code you should do some changes.

After

beaconManager = new BeaconManager(this);

you should start "beacon service"

      if (!beaconManager.isBluetoothEnabled()) {
          stopSelf();
      }

          beaconManager.connect(new BeaconManager.ServiceReadyCallback() {
              @Override
              public void onServiceReady() {
                try {
                  beaconManager.startRanging(ALL_ESTIMOTE_BEACONS_REGION);
                } catch (RemoteException e) {
                  Log.e("error", "Cannot start ranging", e);
                }
              }
          });

Also check if Bluetooth is active on you device.

In procedure beaconManager.setMonitoringListener(new MonitoringListener() add commands to create Notifications.
