You can use an AlarmManager, with that you can set the time of the notification.

This AlarmManager is received by a class that extends BroadCastReceiver and that launchs what to be done, from that launched class you can define a service that can send the notification.

The way to set an alarmmanager that fires that class that extends BroadCastReceiver is:

 Intent intent = new Intent(this, classExtendingBroadCastReceiver);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
                this.getApplicationContext(), 234324243, intent, 0);
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(
                ALARM_SERVICE);


        alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,//System.currentTimeMillis()+20*1000
                time
                , pendingIntent);

Where time is the time when you want the alarm to fire.

Hope it helps.
