Thanks for your answer

Answer 1

Obviously you should use AlarmManager in order to setup something to be executed in given PERIOD.

AlarmManager mgr = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(context, OnAlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0);
mgr.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, 
SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), PERIOD, pi);

where the PERIOD is your time to something that should be executed in OnAlarmReceiver. And then, just implement method in

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager);
    context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    Notification notification = new Notification();
    notification.tickerText = "10 Minutes past";
    nm.notify(0, notification);
}

Enjoy.
