How to get requestCode from pending intent at the time of alarm in android

Question

Is it possible to get requestCode at the time of intent either in Receiver class or Activity Class?

and this was my pending Intent

alarmMgr= (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, BroadcastReceiver_Class.class);
                /*intent.putExtra("alarm_time_minutes", minutes);*/
                pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, requestCode, intent,requestCode);
                alarmMgr.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);

Thanks in Advance..

You can put requestCodeas extra to your intent. Like following:

intent.putExtra("requestCode", requestCode);

Then you can get it in Activity class by:

int requestCode = received_intent.getExtras().getInt("requestCode");

Why this approach works, it doesn't make any sense. The requestCode parameter would become redundant in the method `PendingIntent.getBroadcast()` – ericn Jul 08 '14 at 01:24
actually the requestCode in PendingIntent.getBroadcast() makes sense and give you a new pending intent – memical Aug 07 '14 at 18:52
