Answer 1

The following code works perfectly for alarm. The date and time i mentioned here is : 2012- June- 28, 11:20:00 AM. And the most important thing is, month is specified from 0 t0 11 only. Means June should be specified by 5.

        AlarmManager objAlarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);              
        Calendar objCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        objCalendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2012);
        //objCalendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, objCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR));
        objCalendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, 5);
        objCalendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 28);
        objCalendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 11);
        objCalendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 20);
        objCalendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
        objCalendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
        objCalendar.set(Calendar.AM_PM, Calendar.AM);         

        Intent alamShowIntent = new Intent(this,AlarmActivity.class);
        PendingIntent alarmPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,alamShowIntent,0 );

        objAlarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,objCalendar.getTimeInMillis(), alarmPendingIntent);
