Firstly, I am new to both android and Java.

I have two classes, my main.class and Note.class.

I am calling the notification method from my Note.class in my main.class when i press a button.

The issue is with this line from the Note.class :

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);

notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);

When the method is called it force closes. I believe the problem to be with the "this" in PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);, but I am unsure what to change it to.

The notification code works fine if it's in the main class.

I would be very grateful for any guidance.

Edit: Main class : http://pastebin.com/05Yx0a48

Note.class :

package com.adamblanchard.remindme.com.adamblanchard;

import com.adamblanchard.remindme.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;



public class Note extends Activity {

public CharSequence note = "not changed";
int HELLO_ID = 1;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    setTitle("Remind Me!");


}

//Notification Method

public void callNotification() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub


    String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
    final NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);

    int icon = R.drawable.launcher;
    CharSequence tickerText = "Remind Me!";
    long when = System.currentTimeMillis();

    final Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);

notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

final Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence contentTitle = "Remind Me!";
CharSequence contentText = note;

Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, AndroidNotifications.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);

notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, contentIntent);





        mNotificationManager.notify(HELLO_ID, notification);

        HELLO_ID++;
}

 }

Debug Output :

Thread [<1> main] (Suspended (exception IllegalStateException))
Note(Activity).getSystemService(String) line: 3536
Note.callNotification() line: 37
remindme$1$1.onClick(DialogInterface, int) line: 72 AlertDialog(AlertController$ButtonHandler).handleMessage(Message) line: 159 AlertController$ButtonHandler(Handler).dispatchMessage(Message) line: 99

ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run() line: 839
ZygoteInit.main(String[]) line: 597 NativeStart.main(String[]) line: not available [native method]

This is the debug output I get, plus a force close popup on the device.

Edit2:

Manifest xml:
