i have a little problem and i'll be very gratefull if you could help me. I have an app like a local database for client medicins, when adding an pill he has the posibility to add a reminder when he needs to take that specific pill. He can set only one hour(temporary) and select some days from the week. So the app is making an alarm for every day at that specific hour, that way my app is making many many alarms, I don't think it is the best way but yhea, that's the way I made it. If it's a beter way to do this please help me. But my main problem now is how can i store the pending intents so I can disable the alarms from respective pill when client wants to delete the medicine.

Thanks a lot for the attention and I hope that you can help me a little bit, at least. Have a good day!
There are problems with this code. First off, you say you are setting multiple alarms. In order for you to set multiple alarms, you need to guarantee that each PendingIntent is unique. You do this:
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NotificationService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(),
Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MILLISECOND), intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
All of your alarms use the same parameters to the PendingIntent, except for the requestId parameter (2nd argument), for which you are using the Calendar.MILLISECOND field. This is not unique. The Calendar.MILLISECOND will give you a number between 0 and 999 representing the millisecond within the second of the specific timestamp. This is not guaranteed to be unique. It may be and it may not be.
You ask how you can store the PendingIntent so that you can cancel the alarms. Actually, you don't need to store the PendingIntent. You can recreate the PendingIntent in order to cancel the alarm. Just do exactly the same as you did when you set the alarm in the first place. Like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NotificationService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(),
Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MILLISECOND), intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
// Cancel the alarm
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getApplicationContext()
.getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
// Now cancel the PendingIntent also (just to be sure)
pendingIntent.cancel();
The trick here is that the requestId (2nd argument) to the PendingIntent.getBroadcast() call will need to exactly match the requestId you used when you set the alarm. So you will have to store that. Since the millisecond part of the time isn't unique, you will need to find a better unique number to use as the requestId. If you set only one alarm every day, you could use the day number as the requestId, for example Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, or you could use some other unique ID. Use the same value when you set and cancel the alarm.
