Stop Notification from firing every time app starts

i have a notification with a broadcast service and i have defined my notification in my main activity's oncreate but the problem is the notification fires again and again each time i open main activity. it is supposed to fire only according to the set time.

 // Fire Notification from ReceiverReminder
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, ReceiverReminder.class);
    PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);

    AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) this
            .getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    long recurring = (1 * 60000 * 60 * 24); // in milliseconds
    am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, Calendar.getInstance()
            .getTimeInMillis(), recurring, sender);
    //

Read the description of setRepeating method in developer.android.com
According to it the parameters are:

  • type - One of ELAPSED_REALTIME, ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, RTC, or RTC_WAKEUP.
  • triggerAtMillis - time in milliseconds that the alarm should first go off, using the appropriate clock (depending on the alarm type).
  • intervalMillis - interval in milliseconds between subsequent repeats of the alarm.
  • operation - Action to perform when the alarm goes off; typically comes from IntentSender.getBroadcast().

Now you are passing the current time as the second parameter, telling it to fire immediately, and then repeat itself every 1 * 60000 * 60 * 24 millis.

If you want the alarm to fire for the first time after 1 * 60000 * 60 * 24 millis, the change your method to: 

am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, Calendar.getInstance()
        .getTimeInMillis() + recurring, recurring, sender);

Edit:

Based on your comments, you shouldn't reset the alarm every time the activity is opened. So you should save your state somewhere, for example in a variable in SharedPreferences. So your code should insted be somewhat like this: 

boolean areAlarmsAlreadySet = ...// get boolean variable from SharedPreferences
if (!areAlarmsAlreadySet)
{
   Intent intent = new Intent(this, ReceiverReminder.class);
   PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent,
        PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);

   AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) this
        .getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
   long recurring = (1 * 60000 * 60 * 24); // in milliseconds
   am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, Calendar.getInstance()
        .getTimeInMillis() + recurring, recurring, sender);

 // set the variable in SharedPreferences to true
}

PendingIntent alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.getContext(), 0, intent, 0);
  //After after 30 seconds
 alarmManager2.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, twopm.getTimeInMillis(), 30*1000 , alarmIntent);

And

AndroidManifest.xml

<receiver android:name=".MyReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
