toast not displaying

I'm using a broadcastreceiver called MyTimeReceiver to display a toast at intervals every hour (every 10 seconds for testing). My problem is that the toast is not displaying.

Here is my code snipped from the main activity file (SafeDrive3Activity):

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
     //add 10 seconds to calendar object
        cal.add(Calendar.SECOND, 10);
        mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(SafeDrive3Activity.this,
        0, new Intent(SafeDrive3Activity.this, MyTimeReceiver.class), 0);

      // Schedule the alarm!
        AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
        am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, 
        SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(),mAlarmSender);

broadcastreceiver class:

public class MyTimeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver 

{

    @Override

  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Toast.makeText(context,"HOUNOTIFICATION", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
         }

Please help this has been driving me mad for hours.

Try this for displaing toast every 10 sec.

am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000*10, mAlarmSender));

This one is all over the place. You create a Calendar you never use, you tell the AlarmManager to use the RTC_WAKEUP then use the elapsedRealtime() time source :).

Try this:

am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), mAlarmSender);
