Android Question Setting "Schedule" in app

[Declan]

My app is required to perform certain tasks at various times during the day.
Example: display a "pop-up" panel at 7am, 2pm and 7pm.
Could I have a Service that continually monitors current time and "If Time" then display the panel?
I already have a "Starter" Service that takes care of PhoneEvents, Connectivity etc.
I have attempted to set a Timer in the Main activity to continually monitor the time, but this plays havoc with Screen Touch events etc.

Maybe a silly question but why not use the default calendar and the notificationlistener library? Just a thought.

Thanks, never thought of that - will look into it

I have looked into the default calendar and the notificationlistener library.
I would like to be able to call an activity from within the app itself and not use the default calendar and the notificationlistener library.
Is this possible?

What I actually want to do is to start a service and have that service take care of calling the activity with CallSubPlus.
