Xamarin AlarmManager Android

Question

I\'ve created a quick xamarin android project. Eventually I will want to take the learning below and apply it to a xamarin forms project that is shared between android and i

The problem is that your BroadcastReceiver does not have the [BroadcastReceiver] attribute.

This code works:

AlarmReceiver.cs

[BroadcastReceiver]
public class AlarmReceiver : BroadcastReceiver
{
    public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        var message = intent.GetStringExtra("message");
        var title = intent.GetStringExtra("title");

        var resultIntent = new Intent(context, typeof(MainActivity));
        resultIntent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask | ActivityFlags.ClearTask);

        var pending = PendingIntent.GetActivity(context, 0,
            resultIntent,
            PendingIntentFlags.CancelCurrent);

        var builder =
            new Notification.Builder(context)
                .SetContentTitle(title)
                .SetContentText(message)
                .SetSmallIcon(Resource.Drawable.Icon)
                .SetDefaults(NotificationDefaults.All);

        builder.SetContentIntent(pending);

        var notification = builder.Build();

        var manager = NotificationManager.FromContext(context);
        manager.Notify(1337, notification);
    }
}

MainActivity.cs

[Activity(Label = "App3", MainLauncher = true, Icon = "@drawable/icon")]
public class MainActivity : Activity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
    {
        base.OnCreate(bundle);

        SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);

        var button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.MyButton);

        button.Click += delegate
        {
            var alarmIntent = new Intent(this, typeof(AlarmReceiver));
            alarmIntent.PutExtra("title", "Hello");
            alarmIntent.PutExtra("message", "World!");

            var pending = PendingIntent.GetBroadcast(this, 0, alarmIntent, PendingIntentFlags.UpdateCurrent);

            var alarmManager = GetSystemService(AlarmService).JavaCast<AlarmManager>();
            alarmManager.Set(AlarmType.ElapsedRealtime, SystemClock.ElapsedRealtime() + 5*1000, pending);
        };
    }
}
