Answer 1

i don’t know how well catch this, but let me give you a tip, make a class which has static method for startimg alarm, and use set() method of alarmManager to set interval and so on. and in Broadcaste reciever in its onRecieve() method call the static method again. but in any of these classes declare a static field which is incremented each time onRecieve() method is called. and before setting the alarm put an if() condition to check its not 15. and for pendingIntent use this flag PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT.

when user enters his days do this

int temp = /*days entered by user*/;//initialize tis variable with user entered value

if(temp != 0){
    private static long interval = android.text.format.DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS*temp;
}


if(System.getCurrentTimeInMillis()<interval){
//set Your Alarm.
}
