Your two pending intents are identical, so the latter call will replace the former pending intent in the scheduled alarms list. Try creating p2 from a 2nd Intent instead of using the same intent to create both PendingIntent.

Also, your requested interval is not one of the constants defined in AlarmManager package, such as AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES. If the interval requested doesn't match one of these constants the alarm will be scheduled by Android using setRepeating() (at least on SDK <19), thus losing the power saving benefits of setInexactRepeating().
