In order to learn how to use the AlarmManager I created an activity
that consists of a single button. When the button is pressed the
activity creates an Intent of itself and loads it into the
AlarmManager 3 seconds in the future before finishing.

So activity opens, user pushes button, activity closes, 3 seconds
later activity opens, repeat.

Problem is instead of opening an activity 3 seconds later I get an
error:
"The application [myappname] has stopped unexpectedly. Please try
again."

Here's the code for the button:
thanksButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View view) {
                setResult(RESULT_OK);

                Intent intent = new Intent(myappname.this,
myappnameBroadcastReceiver.class);
                PendingIntent appIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast
(myappname.this, 0, intent, 0);
                Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
                calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
                calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 3);
                AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService
(ALARM_SERVICE);
                am.set(AlarmManager.RTC, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
appIntent);

                finish();
                }

        });

--------------------------------------------
Here's the broadcast receiver:
package com.myappname;

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

public class myappnameBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                        context.startActivity(new Intent(context, 
myappname.class));
        }
}

---------------------------------------------
and here's the lines from the manifest.xml

                <receiver
                        android:name=".myappnameBroadcastReceiver"
                        android:process=":remote">
                </receiver>
