intent.putExtra() in pending intent not working

Issue

I am passing a pending intent through alarmreceiver, from a service class. But, after the pendingIntent fires, the intent.putExtra() information is not being received by the broadcastreceiver class. Here is my code for firing the pendingIntent

Intent aint = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), id, aint, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
aint.putExtra("msg", msg);
aint.putExtra("phone", phone);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);

The alarm receiver class is below

public String msg, phonen;

@Override
public void  onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){
    Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
    msg = extras.getString("msg");
    phonen = extras.getString("phone");

    Log.d("onReceive", "About to execute MyTask");
    Toast.makeText(context,msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

The msg information in toast, that is being received from pending intent, is not being shown. Instead, a blank toast is shown.

Solution

Try this

Intent aint = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReceiver.class);
aint.putExtra("msg", msg);
aint.putExtra("phone", phone);



PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
    getApplicationContext(),
    id, 
    aint,
    // as stated in the comments, this flag is important!
    PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
