Can you set up Notifications on the blackberry without a server?

I wish to use the equivalent of Push Notifications, but I don't really need a server to decide when to push as it's really just calendar pre-set dates.

Any help thoughts /comments most appreciated

Cheers

where is the calendar itself? (device or backend server) If it's all on the device then your app can simply sleep until the next calendar pre-set date occurs.

  • Well the list of dates/time are generated based off a quiz on the phone. Say at 7pm Sunday it would randomly notify the user to do xyz related to the quiz. – David van Dugteren Oct 01 '10 at 17:05
  • unless you already have a backend for some other purpose it sounds to me like using the BB push service is overkill. – seand Oct 02 '10 at 03:14
  • Thanks, that's all I needed to know, it seemed strange that one could receive push notifications, while there was no way to setup the equivalent based on a Date/Time. Cheers – David van Dugteren Oct 02 '10 at 07:12
  • @DavidvanDugteren So do you have the code now? I'm confused how to do this, I'm not a blackberry user but I need local notifications after every 10 minutes It should check from the server for the next data. I don't know where to start. – Ahmad Shahwaiz May 23 '13 at 21:22
