This is a Lollipop-specific question , since the API has changed. To find out how to do this on earlier versions, see related question: Controlling the Alarm icon in status bar I would like to know how to turn on / off the system Alarm icon in the status bar as shown in this image: Timely Alarm Clock controls this icon on Lollipop as of release 1.3.

A few years ago, I wrote an alarm app that worked on Android 2, and I'm now trying to upgrade it to work on Android 4. Specifically, on the Samsung Galaxy S4. On Android 2, if the phone was sleeping, it would wake the phone up and display a "Snooze or Dismiss" screen over the lock screen. On Android 4, it wakes the phone up, but you have to unlock it, then open the notifications area, then click the alarm's notification, before you can hit "Dismiss." I have always been using this code to do the waking: getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED | WindowManager

In Android Alarm Manager, how can we schedule multiple alarms which are non-repeating and do not have fixed intervals to repeat? I cannot use 'setRepeating' function as the alarms don't have any repeating pattern. I have the alarm times stored in Sqlite database table and the activity should pick the date and time from this table and set the alarms. If we setup different alarms in a loop, then it retains only the last one. I read from the post: How can create more than one alarm?

This is my Activity code, Long time = new GregorianCalendar().getTimeInMillis()+20000;//Setting alarm after 20 sec Intent intentAlarm = new Intent("alarm"); intentAlarm.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); intentAlarm.putExtra("req_code",10); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,10, intentAlarm, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, time, pendingIntent); These are all the permissions that I have in my app, <uses-permission android:name=

@Override public void run() { //Create thread that can alter the UI AlarmPage.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { cal = Calendar.getInstance(); //See if current time matches set alarm time if((cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) == alarmTime.getCurrentHour()) && (cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE) == alarmTime.getCurrentMinute())){ //If the sound is playing, stop it and rewind if(sound.isPlaying()){ ShowDialog(); alarmTimer.cancel(); alarmTask.cancel(); alarmTask = new PlaySoundTask(); alarmTimer = new Timer(); alarmTimer.schedule(alarmTask, sound.getDuration(), sound.getDuration()); }
