Repeat Alarm in day time only

Question

I need to remind user about their tablets to be intaken at specific interval in day time only. I know how the notification and alram manager works. But don't know how can I solve my above mentioned problem. Sometimes in between I need to stop/cancel that repeating alarm.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can use the PendingIntent you fire to reset the alarm every time it goes off by adding a new alarm in 24 hours. Don't forget to add a BroadcastReceiver that receives device boot action ( android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED ) as alarms get deleted on device boot and you would have to reset the alarm to the remaining time.
