First you need to create a BroadcastReceiver to trigger on BOOT_COMPLETE

public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {
            if ("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction())) {
                    Intent mServiceIntent = new Intent();
                    mServiceIntent
                                    .setAction("com.crossfire.appname.service.BootService");
                    ComponentName service = context.startService(mServiceIntent);
                    if (null == service) {
                            // something really wrong here
                            Log.e(TAG, "Could not start service ");
                    }
            } else {
                    Log.e(TAG, "Received unexpected intent " + intent.toString());
            }
    }
}

Then create a service to reset all your alarms:

public class BootService extends Service {

    private final String TAG = "BootService";

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(final Intent intent) {
            return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
            super.onCreate();
            Trace.i(TAG, "created");
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart(final Intent intent, final int startId) {
            super.onStart(intent, startId);
            Trace.i(TAG, "started");

            LoadAlarmsFromDatabase();

    }

    private void LoadAlarmsFromDatabase() {
           Cursor c = mDbHelper.getPendingAlarms();
            if (c.moveToFirst()) {
                    do {

                            int id = c.getInt(mDbHelper.ID_COLUMN);
                            String time = c.getString(mDbHelper.TIME_COLUMN);
                            addNotification(id, time);
                    } while (c.moveToNext());
            }
            c.close();
    }

    private void addNotification(int apptId, String time) {
            Trace.d(TAG, "addNotification " + apptId + ", " + time);
            Intent intent = new Intent(BootService.this,
                            ApptBroadcastReceiver.class);

            intent.putExtra("appt_id", Integer.toString(apptId));

            PendingIntent mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
                            BootService.this, apptId, intent, 0);

            long alarmTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + 60000;
            Calendar c = null;

            try {
                    c = CustomDateUtils.StringToCalendar(time);
                    alarmTime = c.getTimeInMillis();
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                    Log.e(TAG, "ParseException");
            }

            AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
            am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, alarmTime, mAlarmSender);

    }
}

Finally, add the permission and receiver to the manifest
