private void scheduleAlarms(Context context) {
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        Intent intentOnAlaramReceiver = new Intent(context, OnAlarmReceiver.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intentOnAlaramReceiver, 0);

        String listOfIntervalConnection = Utils.getStringFromProperties(context, Properties.SP_LIST_OF_ENABLE_INTERVAL_CONNECTIONS, Properties.ENABLE_AFTER);
        long enableAfter = DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS * Long.parseLong(listOfIntervalConnection);

        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + enableAfter, enableAfter, pendingIntent);
    }

Try to use PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT instead of 0; Like this: 

    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intentOnAlaramReceiver, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

You are using different instances of Intent in the PendingIntent when starting the service and while canceling it.

set the service intent as an instance variable and use it in both the starting and canceling of the service.
