How do I Create Reliable Daily Reminder Notifications (Even When App Is Closed)?

Hello everyone,

I am developing an Android app using MIT App Inventor, and I want to create a daily reminder notification system for attendance (for example, 07:30 AM and 04:30 PM).

My goal is:

  • The notification should appear at a specific time every day
  • It should still work even if the app is closed
  • No need for push notifications from a server (local reminder is enough)
  • Preferably something stable on modern Android versions

I understand that using the Clock component with Timer might not be reliable because Android can stop background processes.

So my questions are:

  1. What is the most reliable way to schedule exact daily notifications in App Inventor?
  2. Is there a recommended extension for alarm/background scheduling?
  3. How can I ensure the notification still triggers after the phone restarts?
  4. Do I need to handle special permissions for Android 12/13+?

I would appreciate guidance on the best architecture for this use case.

Thank you!
