how to call a method of a main_activity from a normal class in android

Hi i use this post Background process timer on android for the timeer in background process

my timer code in main activity is 

int repeatTime = 5;
    AlarmManager processTimer = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, processTimerReceiver.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,  intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    processTimer.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(),repeatTime*1000, pendingIntent);

and my code in class processTimerReceiver is:

public class processTimerReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    MainActivity m = new MainActivity();
    m.get_start_info();

}

}

i want to call method get_start_info() in main activity but app crashed

full my main activity is :

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    int repeatTime = 5;
    AlarmManager processTimer = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, processTimerReceiver.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,  intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    processTimer.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(),repeatTime*1000, pendingIntent);

    get_start_info();

}

public void get_start_info() {
    JsonArrayRequest movieReq = new JsonArrayRequest("www.example.com",
            new Response.Listener<JSONArray>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {
                    try {
                        JSONObject obj = response.getJSONObject(0);
                       // any

                        sendNotification();

                        //any
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }

                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

        }
    });
    AppController.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(movieReq);
}

public void sendNotification() {


    NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
    builder.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_email);
    Uri soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, azegar_mail_list.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);


    //mp.start();
    builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
    builder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.mipmap.ic_launcher));
    builder.setContentTitle("آزگار");
    builder.setContentText("نامه جدید برای شما ارسال شده است");
    builder.setAutoCancel(true);
    builder.setSound(soundUri);

    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    // Will display the notification in the notification bar
    notificationManager.notify(1, builder.build());
}

}

my error is :

First of all, if you are calling get_start_info() outside of the MainActivity, then move get_start_info() and sendNotification out of MainActivity.

You are getting a NullPointerException because you are trying to use MainActivity's context to build a notification inside sendNotification and that context is null because you are instantiating MainActivity with the new keyword (You should not instantiate a new activity with the new keyword). Instead, pass the BroadcastReceiver's context as a parameter to sendNotification and use it to build the notification.

Parts of the code which uses Context:

NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, azegar_mail_list.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);

Here, instead of using this, you should use the Context passed as a parameter.
