Are you familiar with Activity's onNewIntent method? In your activity class you should be able to do something like this:

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent i){
    refresh();
}

You could also pack some extra data into the PendingIntent you raise with AlarmManager and check it from onNewIntent if you need more logic.
