As your are creating a Service PendingIntent that why BroadcastReceiver is not called

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.main);

 Intent myIntent = new Intent(AndroidAlarmService.this, RepeatingAlarm.class);
 pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(AndroidAlarmService.this, 0, myIntent, 0);

 AlarmManager aM = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);

 Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
 c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);
 c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
 c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
 PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 0, new Intent(getApplicationContext(),AndroidAlarmService.class),PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
 aM.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, c.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY,pendingIntent);
 }
 }
