We can't expect the user to know all that. In fact we have to treat the user as total ignorant of the Android way of work. So I guess we have to find ways to react to those things. A way is to save the time in milliseconds of the last alarm and check for discrepancies...
When android terminates a process AFAIK it doesn't wipe the alarm off, so we are save there.
