Depending on your Pending Intent alarm Manager can start a service, broadcast receiver or an Activity.

getActivity(Context, int, Intent, int),
getBroadcast(Context, int, Intent, int), 
getService(Context, int, Intent, int);

You can use any of the method of pending Intent and your alarm will prompt either of activity or receiver or service.
