Alarm keeps firing when I open the app

I create an alarm, it works but the problem is that also after the time I set, the alarm start in the moment I open the application and sometimes, also when is closed and I don't open app. I have this problem since a lot of days, could someone help me?

This is my code:

ScarsdaleHome.java

public class ScarsdaleHome extends Fragment implements OnClickListener{

private AlarmManager alarmManager;
private PendingIntent pendingIntent;

    public ScarsdaleHome() {

    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.scarsdale_home_activity, container, false);


        Calendar calend = Calendar.getInstance();
        calend.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
        calend.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 19);
        calend.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 31);
        calend.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);    

        Intent myIntent = new Intent(getActivity(), MyReceiver.class);
        pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getActivity(), 0, myIntent,0);
        alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calend.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);

        return rootView;
    }



    public static ScarsdaleHome newIstance(){
        ScarsdaleHome frag= new ScarsdaleHome();
        return frag;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
}

MyReceiver.java

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {



         Intent service1 = new Intent(context, MyAlarmService.class);
         context.startService(service1);

    }   
}

You have called the setRepeating() method of the AlarmManager class, which schedules a repeating alarm that is fired irrespective of whether the user has opened the app or not. If you want to start your Service only when the user opens the app, then use

alarmManager.set();

or

alarmManager.setExact();

to do so. This will schedule the Service to start only when the user opens the app.

EDIT:

Define your alarm like this:

if(PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getActivity(), 0, 
                           myIntent, 
                           PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE) == null){

    pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getActivity(), 0, myIntent,0);
    alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calend.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);

}

This will not reset the alarm if it is already set.
