And are you using a partial wake lock? Note that if you absolutely need to run even when the device is asleep, this can be a little tricky -- you need to deliver the alarm to a broadcast receive (the alarm manager holds a wake lock during this time), acquire a partial wake lock there and start your service and don't release the wake lock until the service is done with its work.
This is unfortunately tricky to do right now; in the future we would really like to make wakelock management easier for these situations.
