AlarmManager is not cancelling android

Question

I am trying to cancel my alarmmanager which I have registered before. I am registering my alarmmanager as below:

Intent i = new Intent(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, GpsPingService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, 1545,
                                                            i, 0);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis() + 5000, pendingIntent);

and i am trying to cancel it using following code:

Intent i = new Intent(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, GpsPingService.class);
PendingIntent p = PendingIntent.getService(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, 1545, i, 0);
alarmManager.cancel(p);

But it's not cancelling. For debugging it I had putted this code in try catch block but it can't catch any error. Please let me know the reason why it's happening and how can I solve it?

UPDATE

May be it is duplicate but i can not understand what is the difference between the answer which is given in this question and which i have tried. So, it's not duplicate question because i have already done the thing which is suggested in this answer.

Full Code

I am starting my service using following block of code:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this);
                                    builder.setTitle("Need More Accuracy?");
                                    builder.setMessage("Hello user, you have set too small area for geofence. May be it will " +
                                            "perform action with delay in time. If you want to get more accuracy in action" +
                                            " then press \"YES\" button. More accuracy will consume more bettery then normal.");
                                    builder.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                        @Override

Answer 1

Try creating a different AlarmManager ;

Intent i = new Intent(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, GpsPingService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, 1545,i, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis() + 5000, pendingIntent);

And when you cancel it you do this :

Intent i = new Intent(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, GpsPingService.class);
PendingIntent p = PendingIntent.getService(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, 1545, i, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(p);

Doing this is working for me.

Answer 2

I think you provide a wrong flag to PendingIntent . According documentation

May be FLAG_ONE_SHOT, FLAG_NO_CREATE, FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT, FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT, FLAG_IMMUTABLE or any of the flags as supported by Intent.fillIn() to control which unspecified parts of the intent that can be supplied when the actual send happens.

Try using PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT when you create alarm, then cancel it.

PendingIntent.getService(SetProfileOnlineActivity.this, 1545, i, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

Also i see that you get context from service itself. Check context for null , or maybe is not running.
