Often when you use AlarmManager, you have to also register to for TIME_ZONE_CHANGED event to account for cases when the phone moves to a different time zone. As it turns out it appears that those are sent every time the phone updates its time form the cell tower (several times a day) so if you register for TIME_ZONE_CHANGED you can use it to reschedule your tasks automatically on next event. It is not perfect but it works. (This is what we use in BeyondPod podcatcher)
