Got hit by same issue and stumbled upon this question while finding the solution. When setting the alarm, You just need to place a check that your alarm date should not be before current date.

public static void setReminder(Context context,Class cls,long milliseconds, int event_id,String eventName)
{
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

    Calendar notificationcalendar = Calendar.getInstance();

    notificationcalendar.setTimeInMillis(milliseconds);

    if(!notificationcalendar.before(calendar)) { // **just add this check**


        ComponentName receiver = new ComponentName(context, cls);
        PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();

        pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(receiver,
                PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,
                PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);


        Intent intent1 = new Intent(context, cls);
        intent1.putExtra("eventName", eventName);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, event_id, intent1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
        AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
        am.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, notificationcalendar.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
    }

}
