Android Broadcast Receiver called but not running

I have created a broad cast receiver and alarm manager (the following code):

AlarmManager

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.set(Calendar.HOUR, 11);
        cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 18);
        cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);

        // Create a new PendingIntent and add it to the AlarmManager
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyReceiver.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,
                1234567890, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
        AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Activity.ALARM_SERVICE);
        am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);

MyReciever

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("SERVICE RECIEVED");
        Intent service1 = new Intent(context, MyAlarmService.class);
        context.startService(service1);
    }

}

MyAlarmService

public class MyAlarmService extends Service {

    private NotificationManager mManager;

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate();
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("static-access")
    @Override
    public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
        super.onStart(intent, startId);

        mManager = (NotificationManager) this.getApplicationContext()
                .getSystemService(
                        this.getApplicationContext().NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Intent intent1 = new Intent(this.getApplicationContext(),
                MainActivity.class);

        Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,
                "Alarm", System.currentTimeMillis());
        intent1.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP
                | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

        PendingIntent pendingNotificationIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
                this.getApplicationContext(), 0, intent1,
                PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
        notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
        notification.setLatestEventInfo(this.getApplicationContext(),
                "Alarm", "Open the app now",
                pendingNotificationIntent);

        mManager.notify(0, notification);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onDestroy();
    }
}

Manifest

 <service
            android:name=".MyAlarmService"
            android:enabled="true" />

        <receiver android:name=".MyReceiver"/>

The issue I am having is that the Alarm Manager is running and calling the MyReceiver class but nothing is happening as it should. I know that its calling the function because in the log cat the following is displaying:

11-18 11:18:00.415: I/ActivityManager(765): START u0 {flg=0x4 cmp=pacakge/.MyReceiver (has extras)} from pid -1

The package value is the package name.

Can someone please explain where its going wrong? The alarm call works but the functions don't run.

onStart was deprecated in API 5.

Change it to onStartCommand. Follow this link

Hope it helps

Try Using

    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,
            1234567890, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

instead of

    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,
            1234567890, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
