To get around this problem look at the flags the PendingIntent takes, I changed mine to PedingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT in the getBroadcast method, it means that if there was a previous PendingIntent it will update it with the new Intent.
What I am not sure about yet is being able to create/control more than one of the same PendingIntent's that do the same thing. For multiple reminders for instance like what I am trying.
