I have been working with an alarm manager. Once I set a PendingIntent for triggering the alarm, I want to cancel it. 

How do I achieve this?

Help will be appreciated.

These following lines of code surely can help you remove/cancel the pending intent and alarm.

The main thing that you will need is:

  • Create pending intent with the same id and appropriate intent FLAG.
  • Cancel that pending intent.

  • Cancel the alarm using alarm manager. 

    Intent myIntent = new Intent(PresentActivity.this, AlarmActivity.class);          
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(PresentActivity.this,pending_intent_unique_id, myIntent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
pendingIntent.cancel();
alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);

Happy Coding !!

  • Is there a way to get the running pendingintents? I need to update the timer clock based on the time left for the alarm, after the app was closed and reopened. – Dpedrinha Aug 29 '17 at 21:30
