Android: Alarm or Service not being called to update widget

I have created a widget to display the current date which refreshes every 5-10 seconds. Will be increasing the duration later. Created an alarm in the onUpdate method to start the service which in turn updates the widget with the date. When I invoke the widget nothing happens. Don't know if the problem is with the alarm or the service. Pasted the code below. Please let me know where I may be going wrong..

Thanks, Sam

change

PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT

into

intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
