I'm developing my first android app for a client. The launch is scheduled on Saturday, everything works all right... but one thing.
I need the app to connect to the client's website once every 3 days, download events' info, then show a notification and (in some cases) send an email.
What is happening right now is that the app doesn't show any notification, but sends multiple mails every day instead: that should mean that the Alarm fires multiple times per day instead of once every 3.
In my manifest, i have these two receivers:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
[...]
<receiver android:name=".Helper.AlarmDownload"/>
    <receiver
        android:name=".Helper.AlarmBootReceiver"
        android:enabled="false">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
AlarmDownload.java does many thing. They all work, so i won't annoy you with the full code. Just the end:
Intent intentToRepeat = new Intent(context, Caricamento.class);
                        intentToRepeat.putExtra(Costanti.string_notif_idcorso,notifica.getInt(Costanti.sp_notifiche_idcorso,0));
                        //set flag to restart/relaunch the app
                        intentToRepeat.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
                        //Pending intent to handle launch of Activity in intent above
                        PendingIntent pendingIntent =
                                PendingIntent.getActivity(context, NotificationHelper.ALARM_TYPE_RTC, intentToRepeat, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                        //Build notification
                        String titolonotifica = notifica.getString(Costanti.sp_notifiche_titolonotifica,"");
                        String subtitolo = notifica.getString(Costanti.sp_notifiche_subtitolo,"");
                        Notification repeatedNotification = buildLocalNotification(context, pendingIntent,titolonotifica,subtitolo).build();
                        //Send local notification
                        NotificationHelper.getNotificationManager(context).notify(NotificationHelper.ALARM_TYPE_RTC, repeatedNotification);
[...]
public NotificationCompat.Builder buildLocalNotification(Context context, PendingIntent pendingIntent, String titolo, String subtitolo) {
    NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder;
    mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, "fisicamente")
            .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icona_app)
            .setContentTitle(titolo)
            .setContentText(subtitolo)
            //.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
            //.bigText(testo))
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
            .setCategory(NotificationCompat.CATEGORY_EVENT);
    return mBuilder;
}
So, the real issue should be in NotificationHelper.java:
public class NotificationHelper {
public static int ALARM_TYPE_RTC = 100;
private static AlarmManager alarmManager1;
private static PendingIntent alarmIntent1;
public static void scheduleRepeatingRTCNotification(Context context) {
    SharedPreferences pref_login = context.getSharedPreferences(Costanti.SP_LOGIN, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    Boolean primavolta = pref_login.getBoolean("primavolta",false);
//primavolta means first time
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
    Random r1 = new Random();
    int casuale1 = r1.nextInt(100);
    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 11);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, casuale1);
    if (primavolta && calendar.before(Calendar.getInstance())) calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
//I don't want to show the notification on the first login of the user, so i'm adding one day to the calendar.
    Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmDownload.class);
    alarmIntent1 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, ALARM_TYPE_RTC, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    alarmManager1 = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager1.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC,
                calendar.getTimeInMillis(), 3 * AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, alarmIntent1);
}
This is what i do in MainActivity.java, the first time the user logs in:
Boolean primavolta = preferenze.getBoolean("primavolta",false);
    if (primavolta) {
        //Apre il drawer
        drawer.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        //Notifiche
NotificationHelper.scheduleRepeatingRTCNotification(getApplicationContext());
    }
The drawer opens only during the first login, so the schedulerepeatingRTCNotification void doesn't fire more than once.
Any idea?
Thank you very much in advance!
Edited: there was a reference to a costant instead of 3 in the code.
