Notification Scheduler not working

Question

I am trying to schedule a notification in Future in android. but It gives me the notification just right now.

scheduleNotification Method.

private void scheduleNotification(Notification notification, long delay) {
    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(getContext(), NotificationReceiver.class);
    notificationIntent.putExtra(Constants.TimeTableTasksNotification.NOTIFICATION_ID, 1);
    notificationIntent.putExtra(Constants.TimeTableTasksNotification.NOTIFICATION, notification);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getContext(), 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    long futureInMillis = delay - (new Date()).getTime();
    long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(futureInMillis);
    Toast.makeText(context, "" + futureInMillis, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    Toast.makeText(context, "" + minutes, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, futureInMillis, pendingIntent);
}

getNotification Method.

private Notification getNotification(String message) {
    Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(getContext());
    builder.setContentTitle("Time To do the Task.");
    builder.setContentText(message);
    builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.logo);
    builder.setVibrate(new long[]{1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000});
    builder.setLights(Color.BLUE, 3000, 3000);
    return builder.build();
}

I Have the Date in this Format as String Date.

String inputDate = "09/05/2017 10:20";

Using The below code I am getting the time in Milliseconds .

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm", Locale.ENGLISH);
        try {
            Date date = simpleDateFormat.parse(inputDate);
            long milliSeconds = date.getTime();
            scheduleNotification(getNotification("Notification Title."), milliSeconds);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            Log.d("DialogAddScheduleTask", e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

and Finally Here is my NotificationReceiver Class

    public class NotificationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        Notification notification = intent.getParcelableExtra(Constants.TimeTableTasksNotification.NOTIFICATION);
        int id = intent.getIntExtra(Constants.TimeTableTasksNotification.NOTIFICATION_ID, 0);
        notificationManager.notify(id, notification);
    }
}

All things are also set right in Manifest. I added permissions, and also I did registered my receiver.

But can not figure out why It does give me the notification just in time not in the future.

try this to schedule your notification

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
            calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
            calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6);
            calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
            int interval = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;

          Intent myIntent = new Intent(yourActivity.this, ScheduleNotification .class);
          pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(UserDashBoardActivity.this, 0, myIntent,0);
          /* Repeating on every 24 hours interval */
          AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
          alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), interval, pendingIntent);

My method working while I am passing a int like 10000 thousand as second parameter of sceduleNotification method. but while passing the calculated millis from date it is not working. — Mohammad Naim Dahee, Jun 10 '17 at 06:08

I am checking you can see it in the code. I am showing the value as a toast message . it gives the right value in millis and minutes both. – Mohammad Naim Dahee Jun 10 '17 at 06:10
If your app is giving notification right now can mean that you have specified a trigger value which has already past. – el2e10 Jun 10 '17 at 06:15
No time is not passed. With every test I am passing a new time in future. And while I am chechking futureInMilllis it gives a time in future. – Mohammad Naim Dahee Jun 10 '17 at 06:18
