Alarm crashes when app is closed

To reproduce

1. Schedule an alarm.
2. Close the app before the alarm will set off. This should cause a crash when the alarm is triggered.

This is how errors look like from adb logcat:

One way around seems to be

1. Trigger the alarm once when the app is running.
2. Schedule it again to launch after some time.
3. Close the app before the alarm will set off. This seems to not cause crash when the alarm is triggered.
