Alarmservice not working

Question

In my application I need to run some code every midnight. This is the first time I am working on alarm service and Searched the internet for some snippets and examples.

Below is my code and its not working as expected, please help my pointing out my mistake:

SET A REPEATING ALARM

private static void initiateMidnightAlarm(Context context, AlarmManager alarmManager) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
    PendingIntent midnightIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0,
            new Intent("com.alarms.MidnightProcess"), 0);
    alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
            AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, midnightIntent);
}

DECLARE THE RECEIVER IN THE MANIFEST:

<receiver
    android:name=".receivers.MidnightProcessReceiver"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:exported="false">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.alarms.MidnightProcess"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

RECEIVER CODE:

public class MidnightProcessReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public MidnightProcessReceiver() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        processMidnightLogic(context);
    }

    public static void processMidnightLogic(Context context) {
        Toast.makeText(context,"MidnightProcessReceiver",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>
</manifest>

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

Since you need to fire an implicit broadcast, rather than start a Service, you're retrieving the wrong type of PendingIntent. Change:

PendingIntent midnightIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0,
        new Intent("com.alarms.MidnightProcess"), 0);

to:

PendingIntent midnightIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0,
        new Intent("com.alarms.MidnightProcess"), 0);
