My apologies... looking at your code again, I was a bit mistaken... you are using an explicit intent to start your activity. My guess is that the broadcast is getting sent before your activity has registered itself.
If that is indeed the case, I would suggest passing extra data through the intent used to start the activity. When your activity starts up, you can look for this data, and if present, you know you are starting it from your broadcast receiver and you need to reset the alarm (I assume you are doing something like that based on the code). I still think it would be good to read up on this though: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-filters.html Sorry for the confusion... that's what I get for scanning the code too quickly. I missed your startActivity() call in the middle of the code snippet.
