AlarmManager Android Every Day

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
// 9 AM 
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0,
            new Intent(context, MyClass.class),PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
                                AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pi);

How to stop service at particular time on Android?

This might be an old question but I came across this issue myself today and figured a way to do it: You can use a new service which stops your service, and start that service in the desired time on a daily basis using alarm manager, like this:
Define the service which will stop your service:
package com.youractivity;

import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;


public class MyServiceTerminator extends Service {

  @Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
      return Service.START_NOT_STICKY;
  }


public void onCreate()
  {
     Intent service = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
    stopService(service);   //stop MyService
    stopSelf();     //stop MyServiceTerminator so that it doesn't keep running uselessly
  }

  @Override
  public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
  //TODO for communication return IBinder implementation
    return null;
  }
} 
add the following code after the one you posted, and run the method inside your activity:
private void stopRecurringAlarm(Context context) {
    Calendar updateTime = Calendar.getInstance();
    updateTime.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+3"));
    updateTime.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 18);
    updateTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyServiceTerminator.class);
    PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 1, intent,    PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    AlarmManager alarms = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    alarms.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,updateTime.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pintent);
}
this way the service will be scheduled to start as you posted above, and scheduled to stop at 6 as shown in the code I posted.

How to use alarmmanager 2 times every day?

You can use an interval of AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY / 2 :

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 10);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 35);
 calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); 
 
 AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService  (Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AlarmReceiver.class);
 PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent,      PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
 am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),        AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY / 2, pi);


but if the time of the day in which you fire your alarm matters you can use two calendar objects :
Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
cal1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12); //midday
cal1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);
cal1.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00); 
 
 
 Calendar cal2 = Calendar.getInstance();
cal2.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 18);//8pm for example
cal2.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);
cal2.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);
and set your alarm manager :
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal1.getTimeInMillis(),cal2.getTimeInMillis(), pi);
