Setting up notifications for Android
I don't know much about Android, so I can't answer that specific question, but there's still some things to change.

 @Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0)
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public void onCreate()
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate();
}

@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onDestroy();
}


It looks like your IDE generated these for you, but you don't need them. Get rid of them, they're just clutter.

PendingIntent pendingNotificationIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity( this.getApplicationContext(),0, intent1,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


Ouch! In Java, we put one space after each comma in the argument list, and sometimes spaces in expressions. This line should look like

PendingIntent pendingNotificationIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this.getApplicationContext(), 0, intent1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


Also, if you put spaces around an operator, it should be one space on each side, so Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP should be Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP

notification.setLatestEventInfo(this.getApplicationContext(), "Score Collection!", "Please enter scores at this time!", pendingNotificationIntent);


If I recall correctly, on Android all user-facing strings should be handled by the OS so that you can localize them easily.

Other than that, this code looks pretty good.
