Android Question Multiple alarm or notification

[G-ShadoW]

I want to write in txt file time and date for multiple alarm's, then using service ( started at boot ) I will compare all lines in txt file, find closest date time for alarm and reschedule service, but...

What should I save in txt file, datetime ticks or normal date time format eg. (22/07/2015 13:00:00 )

here is the project:

from Log's I have this info:

today: 1436652000000
td.hour: 15
td.minute: 0
1436706000000
DateTime.Now: 1436620042765
Starting date and time: 12.07.2015 15:00:00
Alarm will start after: 23 hour(s) and 52 minute(s)
StartServiceAt: 1436705962775
Alarm will start at: 12.07.2015 15:00:00
Alarm service - canceled.

It is easier to work with ticks.

I will post new source

Ok, for now, I can add serveral time-date in txt file and and in 99% alarm will work, it will find closest alarm to trigger
but,
when alarm start's it will stay on it and it play notification until you delete it ( it will not search for next time-date in txt file ) <- need fix

So I need help,
when notification/alarm start, I need only 1 notification and then search for next alarm and schedule it ( but not to delete it from txt file
coz I want to save it as remminder).

Also, I cant get any info from service using callsubdelayed...
