Answer 1

If you are creating PendingIntent of an alarm for past time it will be fired immediately. Example - Schedule alarm for today 8AM but executing code around 11AM will fire immediately.

Solution:

cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);

long delay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), delay,pendingIntent);` 

This will fire the event on next day at specified time (i.e 8AM);
