App That Run In Background And Display Alerts?
Feb 2, 2013I need to write app to run in background and to display massage when it arrives. So the user can use another app, but when it get massage it would display it.

I need to write app to run in background and to display massage when it arrives. So the user can use another app, but when it get massage it would display it.
In my app I am giving the option for users to share information with other users of my app. After two users decide to share, every time one of the sharers updates the app I need an alert/notification sent to the phone of the other user so that the app updates automatically with the new information. So basically I am looking for something along the lines of hidden text messages, which when received the app will automatically update. Can anyone point me in the direction of what to use? What Android has to offer to accomplish this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post and also my first android phone. I was wondering if anyone knows of a better calendar than the stock HTC one that comes on the incredible. The stock calendar only allows for one alert/reminder. I would like something that is simple and easy to use, but allows for more than one alert/reminder.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had my Hero just over a month now and yesterday for the first time i received a facebook notification on my Hero. Since i have had my phone I've never seen this. I normally get a notification telling me that i have a new email which sometimes is an email from facebook telling me i have a new invite or what ever. But this notification was a facebook specific one, it had an icon of an 'F' (of Facebook). Does anyone know what option needs to be turned on so that you get Facebook notifications on your Hero? I obviously switched something on which is no longer running cause im no longer getting this notifications.

I am trying to get an alert when I get to my home. But, it looks like I am not receiving the message. Googled around quite a bit, but to no avail. I am able to get the LocationListener to display my current location. But, proximityAlerts are not working. The problem might be with the setting up and receiving the broadcast messages.
Following is my code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am almost 100% satisfied with my EVO I have had for 2 days.The only complait I have is I want to me notified via an audible alert about a text message or missed call until I answer it.I couldn't find a way to do that in the setup, so I was wondering is there an app that would let me do that?Choose how often it repeats?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have set up the folders necessary on my SD card so that I can access the notification alert sounds that I would like to use. The problem I am having now is that I want to set one alert sound for contact a, a different alert sound for contact b, etc... I was able to set my ringtones this way but can't figure out how to set the notification alerts.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAre there any good apps out there for Customized SMS/Email alerts? I am coming from BB Storm 2 where i could have every email, sms, mms, whatever from any contact display a different LED light/pattern and make a different noise depending on who it is coming from. Here on my Droid X i have one alert noise, for EVERYTHING. And no LED tweaking.
I DL'd Blink...which was useless, didn't display 3/4 of the colors it was supposed to do. Uninstalled. I had heard HandcentSMS lets you customize stuff...kinda. I could finally make my SMS make a differnt noise then any other alert. But still can't customize it per person/sender. I could tweak the LED thankfully. But this only affects SMS. Not email. And it too didn't display all the colors it had listed
Ringdroid lets me make every caller have a differnt ringtone (cool), and i can save alerts, but not custom per person. Are there any apps out there that let me customize alerts for email/mms/sms and so forth. So i can have it blink the LED a differnt color from certain people and make a noise when said email, mms, sms is from certain people? Or am i just SOL and need to deal with the fact that i can't do that on a Droid?
In so many ways this phone is lightyears ahead of my Storm 2...but in so many other ways it is far more basic and simplistic in many things and doesn't allow the customization.
I have stopped receiving email and message alerts. No sound, no vibrate, no icon on the status bar at the top of the phone, no blinking green light when the screen is off. It is as if the phone does not know I have email or messages.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed the Advanced Task Killer because there wasn't a logout function for the Yahoo Mail App and the alerts were going like crazy; however, I needed the alerts for my work email due to oncall. However, now I'm not getting any sound alerts or vibrate, etc for my new email messages and this is very important.
Does anyone know how I can enable the alerts and get them working again. I have uninstalled the Advanced Task Killer and powered off the phone, but the email alert notifications unfortunately are still not working.
I'm looking for an App that repeats (audibly) that I have a text message or email.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an application that allows SMS alerts for each user. I've tried handcent and I like it but the stock messaging app on the DX is very nice. If I could set specific alerts it would be perfect. I like to have a few people alert me via sound then the rest just silent. I'm sure there's a way to do it I just haven't found the right app yet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android and I'm just curious how I make my Droid X vibrate when I get texts. When I put it in vibrate mode it just vibrates on calls but not texts. Do I need an app for this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedQuestions about alerts: 1) Is there a way to get your alerts to be sound only? It still plays a sound AND vibrates, and that's driving me nuts. 2) Is there a way for the "native" alert sound management software to recognize imported files for alerts? I've used a downloaded program that will allow me to pick song files, but it's use of them is inconsistent, even though when I go to the setting, it still has the file I chose listed.
