That's not a bad idea actually, but that would mean i'd have to keep tabs on all the stuff myself...
What i'm doing now is using a Handler for the snooze time (don't want to mix AlarmManager alarms with the app's own alarms). Each Activity instance has its own Handler, so when the Runnable is run i'm in the context of that activity instance. This Activity (and its potentially multiple instances) is started by the AlarmReceiver with startActivity(). Everything is actually pretty cool, if it wasn't for this focus issue. The activities take care of themselves and destroy their own stuff when it's time. Making them act as a single activity, by populating UI fields according to what happens, i would have to keep record of all the handlers and runnables, and compared to what i have now i'm not sure it's worth the extra effort.
