You are using an alarm type of ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP. That means that the second parameter to set() must be the number of milliseconds from now, where now is expressed as SystemClock.elapsedRealtime().

If your goal is to have this occur 10000 milliseconds from the time you make the set() call, that set() call should be:

alarmManager.set(alarmType, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()+timeOrLengthofWait, alarmIntent);
