Answer 1

You need to specify the time when the alarm is being set for:

You're asking Android to set an alarm without telling it when, so add extra intent bundle parameters for Hour & Minutes and then I expect it will work (it is hard to be sure as you've provided no information about the exception).

Answer 2

You'll also need to add

<uses-permission android:name="com.android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM"/>

to your manifest.

Answer 3

Ollie is right, the code should look something like the following:

Intent i = new Intent(AlarmClock.ACTION_SET_ALARM);
    i.putExtra(AlarmClock.EXTRA_HOUR, 9);
    i.putExtra(AlarmClock.EXTRA_MINUTES, 37);
    startActivity(i);
