How to run service in background every 10 minute?

Question

I want to use a service that run in background indefinitely and call a method every 10 minute and its running even app killed

How to create it?

Answer 1

you could write a background Service: Running in a Background Service

and start the service every 10-11 min (cause of AlarmManager power saving behaviour), or with exact timing (needs to shedule next execution every time) with AlarmManager.setExact

Example:

private static PendingIntent createClockIntent(Context context) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(context.getString(R.string.widget_broadcast_clock_update));
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context.getApplicationContext(), 1,
                intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
        return pendingIntent;
    }

    public static void startClockAlarm(Context context) {
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        clockIntent = createClockIntent(context);
        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, 0,
                600000, clockIntent);
    }
