You will need to do some reading.

The permanent notification is related to the automatic foreground mode: https://www.b4x.com/search?query=automatic+foreground+mode


This is exactly the purpose of NextTimeInstance. It calculates the next scheduled time.

    Sleep(0)
Service.StopAutomaticForeground

    StartServiceAt(Me, NextTimeInstance(24, 01) ,True)
    StartActivity(act1)
    StartServiceAt(Me, NextTimeInstance(01, 10) ,True)
    StartActivity(act2)

StartServiceAt(Me, NextTimeInstance(KVS.GetDefault("H-PM" , "21"), KVS.GetDefault("M-PM" , "15")) ,True)
