I would like to set a normal, Android alarm clock in my app - the one in the default Android Clock application. I simply want to schedule a an alarm that will ring let's say tomorrow at 8 a.m. I've read about the Alarm Manager, but it seems to trigger an event, and I just want it to ring. I'm pretty sure there's an easy solution for that, but I couldn't find it. I'll apprecaite any help!
