Modify AlarmReceiver.java
package com.example.androiddatepicker;

import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
 
 private static final int MY_NOTIFICATION_ID=1;
 NotificationManager notificationManager;
 Notification myNotification;
 private final String myBlog = "http://android-er.blogspot.com/";

 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
  Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm received!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

     Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(myBlog));
     PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
            context, 
            0, 
            myIntent, 
            Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
     
     myNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
       .setContentTitle("Exercise of Notification!")
       .setContentText("http://android-er.blogspot.com/")
       .setTicker("Notification!")
       .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
       .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
       .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
       .setAutoCancel(true)
       .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
       .build();
     
     notificationManager = 
       (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
     notificationManager.notify(MY_NOTIFICATION_ID, myNotification);

Can we do this whole alarm application inside the alert dialog box?
I mean can we prompt to user for setting the date and time in an alert dialog box?
