I want to start my application (let's say BRUSH YOUR TEETH)on a specific time and day. And I don't want to write the alarm service any extra code for alarm part. Rather, I want to know if it is possible:

1- I use original alarm clock that comes shipped with phone to set up alarm with some name. Let's say Time= "6:30 AM on Monday" and Name= "PSSST!! BRUSH YOUR TEETH"

2- The Alarm will start to ring on Monday morning at 6:30 AM with that PSST!!... name

3- My question here, does this alarm broadcasts any INTENT (for instance like INTENT.ACTION.BOOTCOMPLETE) that can be received with BROADCAST RECEIVER so that I start my activity in OnReceieve method?

In short I am too lazy to write additional code and want to use the existing phone clock service.

Any possibility of success with my lazy approach?

It's not exact answer on your question. However, I would recommend to use AlarmManager:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html

All you need to do is to create an intent for your app and schedule it. It is pretty much minimal (2-3 lines for setting it up, one receiver and definition of receiver in manifest).

You can check example here:
