Then don't do that.

One solid pattern for AlarmManager is to have alarms trigger a
manifest-registered broadcast receiver, that in turn calls startService()
on an IntentService that processes whatever work needs to be done
periodically. This allows the work to be done on a background thread and
shuts the IntentService down when there is no more work, minimizing memory
impact.

Conversely, I really do not recommend trying to use AlarmManager with a
receiver registered in Java code, because that receiver hopefully is
rarely around, because the service that hosts it hopefully is rarely
around.
