After changing DailyNotificationReceiver to exported="true", testing revealed
that while the receiver works when manually triggered, AlarmManager broadcasts
are not reaching it when alarms fire automatically. Alarms are scheduled and
fire correctly, but the PendingIntent broadcast does not trigger the receiver.
Added comprehensive documentation and diagnostic tools:
1. Documentation (doc/daily-notification-plugin-android-receiver-issue.md):
- Complete problem analysis with evidence from logs and dumpsys
- Root cause hypotheses focusing on PendingIntent creation in plugin
- Testing steps and expected behavior after fix
- Technical details for plugin maintainer reference
2. Test scripts:
- scripts/test-notification-receiver.sh: Manually trigger receiver to
verify it works and test with/without ID parameter
- scripts/check-alarm-logs.sh: Check logs and verify alarm scheduling
Findings:
- Receiver registration is correct (exported="true" works for manual tests)
- Alarms schedule and fire successfully (confirmed via dumpsys alarm)
- Issue is in plugin's PendingIntent creation - broadcasts don't reach receiver
- Additional issue: Intent extras missing scheduleId (causes "missing_id" error)
The exported="true" change was necessary and correct. The remaining issue
requires a fix in the plugin's PendingIntent creation code to explicitly
set the component and include the scheduleId in Intent extras.
This documentation is intended for use when working on the plugin project
to fix the PendingIntent delivery issue.
The DailyNotificationReceiver was not being triggered when scheduled alarms
fired, preventing notifications from appearing at the scheduled time.
Changed android:exported from "false" to "true" to allow AlarmManager
broadcasts to reach the receiver, especially when the app is closed or
the device is in doze mode.
This is a work-in-progress change to diagnose why notifications aren't
firing. The receiver should log "DN|RECEIVE_START" when triggered, but
we were not seeing these logs even when alarms were scheduled.
Next steps:
- Test if receiver is now triggered when alarm fires
- Verify notifications appear at scheduled time
- Consider adding permission check if keeping exported=true for security
- Auto-detect Java from Android Studio (JBR/JRE) or system PATH
- Auto-detect Android SDK from common locations or local.properties
- Auto-write SDK location to local.properties for Gradle
- Add KAPT JVM args to gradle.properties for Java 17+ module access
- Fix Java version command quoting for paths with spaces
- Comment out DailyNotificationPlugin (Java class not implemented)
Eliminates manual JAVA_HOME/ANDROID_HOME setup requirements and fixes
KAPT compilation errors when using Java 17+.
