How to display notification every week?

I want to create a notification for users to remind them to open my app, in case they haven't opened it for more than a week. How can this be accomplished if my app isn't opened?

you can try implementing push notifcations. Here is an example from parse. Very easy. You can also do your own. Push Notification

You can use AlarmManager to schedule and run your notification code. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html

You can find a lot of tutorials e.g. http://code4reference.com/2012/07/tutorial-on-android-alarmmanager/

So when your app starts you should cancel previous alarm and schedule new alarm to now + one week. This way alarm will be called(and notification displayed) only if app was not opened for more than week
