Answer 1

This is how you can do it:

1.) Define a static intent (intent1) and use it to pass to AlarmManager when setting time. So now when ever time, will lapse; AlarmManager will notify by sending intent1.

2.) On onReceive of BroadcastReceiver of intent1, start a AsyncTask. At end end of AsyncTask, set the next time for AlarmManager.
