NullPointerException on AlarmManager.setRepeating() - ElapsedRealTime - Android

I am developing an android app, which turns the wifi on/off after every 5seconds (5seconds are just for testing) If this information helps: I am using a NavigationDrawer for this app. I am using elapsedRealTime alarm for this. The user selects the time from a dropdown and after the selected time the app turns wifi on/off. For example: When he (the user) selects 30 minutes from the dropdown (spinner), the wifi should be turned on/off after 30minutes. I think that I have everything implemented (like BroadcastReceiver, IntentService).

My Code if it helps. Here is how I call my SpinnerTimeOnItemSelectedListenerclass.

public class TweaksFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tweaks, container, false);
    addListenerOnSpinnerItemSelection();
    return view;
}

public void addListenerOnSpinnerItemSelection(){
    spinnerSelectTime = (Spinner) view.findViewById(R.id.spinner_select_time);
    spinnerSelectTime.setOnItemSelectedListener(new SpinnerTimeOnItemSelectedListener());
}

In SpinnerTimeOnItemSelectedListener I am creating the alarm and executing the BroadCastReceiverafter the alarm

   public class SpinnerTimeOnItemSelectedListener extends Activity implements AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {

    @Override
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

        if(parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString().equals("Zeit auswählen") || parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString().equals("Select Time")){
            //onNothingSelected(parent);
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        } else if (parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString().equals("30min")){
            alarm(parent);
    }

    @Override
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

    }

    public void alarm(AdapterView<?> parent) {
        try {
            Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "alarm() is called", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, BroadCastReceiver.class);
            PendingIntent mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, 0);
            long firstTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(); 
            AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
            am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME,
                    firstTime, 10, mAlarmSender);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

My BroadCastReceiver class

public class BroadCastReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {


@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Toast.makeText(context, "BroadCastReceiver is running", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    startWakefulService(context,new Intent(context, BackgroundService.class));
}

}

My BackgroundService class

public class BackgroundService extends IntentService {

public BackgroundService() {
    super("BackgroundService");
}
private WifiManager wifiManager;
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
    // Hier kommt der Code zum ein und ausschalten (von z.B. wifi)
    // Ein Intentservice gibt nichts auf der UI aus
    wifiManager = (WifiManager) this.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    if (wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) {
        wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
    } else {
        wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
    }
}
}

My Manifest file

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.selfmade.ali.wifionoffer" >
<application

            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

    </activity>

    <activity android:name=".SpinnerTimeOnItemSelectedListener" ></activity>
    <activity android:name=".ElapsedRealtimeAlarm"></activity>

    <receiver android:name=".BroadCastReceiver" ></receiver>
    <service android:name=".BackgroundService" android:exported="false" android:enabled="true" ></service>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />

I am becoming a NullPointerException on this line: am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, firstTime, 10000, mAlarmSender); What can be the issue and how can I solve it? Here is the logcat if it helps:
