Probably not. Even when your tablet is "fully off", it draws the tiniest trickle of power to keep time. That way when you turn it back on, it still knows what time it is.

The same hardware that is typically used to keep track of time typically also provides the ability to set alarms, and further usually allows the system to be powered on again based on an alarm.
