Creates a new timer notification with the specified
type
,
message
and
userData
and inserts it into the list of notifications with a given date, period and number of occurrences.
If the timer notification to be inserted has a date that is before the current date, the method behaves as if the specified date were the current date.
For once-off notifications, the notification is delivered immediately.
For periodic notifications, the first notification is delivered immediately and the subsequent ones are spaced as specified by the period parameter.
Note that once the timer notification has been added into the list of notifications, its associated date, period and number of occurrences cannot be updated.
In the case of a periodic notification, uses a fixed-delay execution scheme, as specified in Timer
. In order to use a fixed-rate execution scheme, use addNotification(String, String, Object, Date, long, long, boolean)
instead.
