Android will erase all intent of alarm manager if you will restart your phone.

You have to create a receiver for start BOOT_COMPLETED and then you will get onReceive() method when your device will start.In this method you can create all alarm again.

You have to declare receiver in manifest

<receiver android:name=".MyStartupIntentReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="false">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

And your receiver will be

import java.util.Calendar;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

public class MyStartupIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent1) {

        // You can update pending intent here 

    }
}
