Apart from the app linked in the other reply, I also found these two apps that have links to Wikipedia but can send notifications

The widget is really good, it gives you a "On This Day" view which I usually find something interesting to do further research on.
Hello everybody,
I would like to present you the <strong>Historical Calendar</strong>, a FREE app that lets you discover what happened on this day, in history. You can save your favorite events and get notified when they are commemorated. The app is also described (in Dutch), on AndroidWorld.nl.
Features
Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexandrucene.dayhistory
The app is FREE. Install it and see if you like it. You can remove the ads at any time within the app.
I have created this app as a learning project, while starting the Android path on my own. As I made progress and got even a job in Android development, the app changed a lot. Recently, the app just passed the 100.000 of downloads.
I would love to hear your feedback!
Historical Calendar can do this... maybe
