intent.putExtra() in pending intent not working

Question

I am passing a pending intent through alarmreceiver, from a service class. But, after the pendingIntent fires, the intent.putExtra() information is not being received by the broadcastreceiver class. Here is my code for firing the pendingIntent

Intent aint = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReceiver.class); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), id, aint, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); aint.putExtra("msg", msg); aint.putExtra("phone", phone); alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent); 

The alarm receiver class is below

public String msg, phonen;  @Override public void  onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){     Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();     msg = extras.getString("msg");     phonen = extras.getString("phone");      Log.d("onReceive", "About to execute MyTask");     Toast.makeText(context,msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } 

The msg information in toast, that is being received from pending intent, is not being shown. Instead, a blank toast is shown.

Answer 1

Try this

Intent aint = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReceiver.class); aint.putExtra("msg", msg); aint.putExtra("phone", phone);    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(     getApplicationContext(),     id,      aint,     // as stated in the comments, this flag is important!     PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
