To expand one of the comments, you would use "in April" because the day when you will arrive is within the month of April, but if you say a specific day, you would say "on April 15th". The key is that using "in" means what you are referring to encompasses something else, while on usually refers to a specific day.
You would say that you wake up "in the morning" rather than "on the morning" since it is a more general time. You would use "at" to describe an exact time, such as "at noon", or "at 5 o'clock" rather than "in 5 o'clock" or "in noon" or "on noon".
Here is a helpful reference.
