Cancel All Alarms each with different PendingIntent set using AlarmManager at once without having to recreate each PendingIntent again

Question

I have set multiple repeating alarms each with different PendingIntent. Is there a way to cancel all these alarms at once? The only way i find to cancel alarms is to create individual PendingIntent and then call AlarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent) method. As I have many different alarms with different PendingIntent i will have to recreate all those, is there a better way?

The only way you can do is recreate your pending intent and cancel it.

AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent updateServiceIntent = new Intent(context, MyPendingIntentService.class);
PendingIntent pendingUpdateIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, updateServiceIntent, 0);
    // Cancel it
    try{
        alarmManager.cancel(pendingUpdateIntent);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Update failed " + e.getMessage());
     }
