Broadcast Receiver on Pending intent is not working

Trying to send broadcast and receive it at a specific time. RegisterBroadcast method of Class A in which I registered broadcast:

cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int lap = 1000 * 60 * 10;
cal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR, 5);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 01);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, c.getTimeInMillis(), lap, pi);
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyAlarm.class);
pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, i, 0);

Receiver:

@Override
public void onReceive(Context cont, Intent i) {
    Toast.makeText(cont, "I am broadcasting", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Manifest:

<receiver android:name="com.anarkali.MyAlarm">

But this code is not able to broadcast properly. Sometimes it do sometimes it does not why? I am confused.

You seem to be using the PendingIntent pi before initializing it, in which case it would use whatever value is assigned to pi at that time, which could be an old PendingIntent or possibly null:

am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, c.getTimeInMillis(),lap,pi);
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MyAlarm.class);
pi=PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0,i,0);

should probably be:

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MyAlarm.class);
pi=PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0,i,0);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, c.getTimeInMillis(),lap,pi);
