How do you start an Activity with AlarmManager in Android?

I've poured through a dozen tutorials and forum answers about this problem, but still haven't been able to get some working code together. I'll try to keep the question straightforward:

How do you use AlarmManager (in the Android API) to start an Activity at a given time? Any solution to this problem will do.

My latest attempt to achieve this is below.

(Imports omitted. I expect MyActivity to start 3 seconds after the program is opened, which it doesn't. There are no error messages to speak of.)

public class AndroidTest2Activity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Context context = this;//.getApplicationContext();


        AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); // CORRECT
        Intent intent = new Intent(context, myReceiver.class); // CORRECT
        PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getBroadcast( context, 0, intent, 0 ); // CORRECT
        manager.set( AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis() + 3000, pending ); // CORRECT

        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

public class myReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Intent i=new Intent(context, myActivity.class);
        i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(i);
    }
}

public class myActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Log.d("", "Elusive success");
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

Any advice would be appreciated.

Please note: I've got myReceiver in the manifest already
